Ok, so I am really leaning toward the more red of this pair being a rooster, but thought I would see if anyone could tell me otherwise. These are both around 3 months of age and both purchased at a feed store supplied by Ideal. So nothing show bred, but that wasn't what I was looking for. The one I think is the Rooster has a richer red coloring and less white. He also has his tail feathers plucked like what I am seeing on my other two young roosters. (thinking my rescue rooster is acting dominate) The hen is much much darker in feather color, but her comb and face are very pale pinkish and still developing.
Here is what I think is the rooster - Morning Breakfast
The pair side by side......
And what I am pretty sure is a hen - Midnight Snack
Kids just loved naming these. They turned out to be very gentle and sweet. In fact, Morning comes when he/she is called.
Thanks for any comments!
