I have three, 3 month old Austra whites one has a much larger comb and wattle than the other 2 and much redder. But he doesn't crow and it's feather pattern seems to be the same as the other 2. I want a roo for my flock and have one lined up for free, but don't need it if I already have one. I'm a 1st time chicken owner so I have no clue except for what I read. Thanks for any help!

. Hens can have big combs and wattles, or develop them at different rates so it isn't good to judge on that alone. Saddle feathers are longer, skinny feathers that kinda drape over the base of the tail and only Roos get them. Roos also tend to have thicker legs than yours.
