Hello,

i just exchanged my Rooster for a Hen since he was to loud !

they guy said that she is about 3 month old and she would get huge.. well i have no idea, and i don't really trust him since i bought 4 hens and out of 4 hens were 3 Roosters.. so... i guess he has no idea what is talking about.

i will make better pics tomorrow since my batteries died on me ...LOL

but maybe someone can tell me what she is .

thanks for your help

Sandra

Well she's definitally a hen :) Probably a production red/rhode island red

I have five hens and two pullets- one seven year old red star, Luna, one white leghorn, Sage, one SLW, Pepper, one adorable fluffy EE, Bedazzle, and one black star, Buckbeak. My two pullets are Nutella, my wheaten marans, thirty five weeks, (who is yet to lay an egg!), and her best friend, Sammy, seventeen weeks.

Oh and I would say maybe 15 weeks or so? Maybe younger?

She's a bit more orange-y so I would say more along the line of New Hampshire than Rhode Island Red
