Little snood, looks like feathering going up the back of the head, and looks like the breast feathers have light edges.  Looks like a beautiful Bourbon Red hen.  If the pics are different birds, then it would look like two hens to me.

99.999% of girls would die if Justin Bieber appeared at their doorstep and asked for a date. If your that 0.0001% Who's wiping blood from your fist, put this in your siggy.

 

I have a sad poem called The Waiting Dog, if you care about hearing a poem to end animal abuse, PM me

Thank you all for your responses.......however, you are all wrong, and i say that in the nicest way possible, a week after i posted this my TOM started to breed with my black spanish hen, the eggs are fertile and in my incubator as of today, he also went through a growth spurt, and has started dispalying, on closer inspection i noticed the difference in the white and black tips on the feathers, i did not know that trick before, ive never had  bourbon reds till now
