What's the ones in the background running for the hill?

The bird running is a 3 yr old hen I have for feathers for fly tying. The other bird is a 10 month old blue pullet.

What is it? How old? Looks like a stag. Sometimes you can check the saddle area. Pull all the feathers back and look for male feathers growing in. Check every day. You can tell a lot faster this way with some.

Spur development weak for any stag. If henny feathered then feathers may not be useful for sexing. I would like to see bird in better light for whole body and closeups of head and lower legs.

That's a good point. I've never seen a henny except photos.

Voice can also be good indicator but recordings more difficult.

He is a 2 month bacon warhorse, I have a pair of Jeremy Hamlin asils they are a month old and a half but I can tell one is a stag and the other a pullet, but with the warhorse is hard to tell at least for me

Black gamefowl (and white gamefowl) are hard to sex for me too. I know the bbr like the back of my hand, but solid color birds dont have indication of sex until saddle feathers (sometime hackle feathers) start coming in.

But you can tell from other traits, size and behavior.
