    What are these? Roo or hen and what breed?

    I appreciate all the explanation. I had so many questions after the first response and you all answered all of them all. Before I could even ask lol. How are you sure they are cockerels?

    What are these? Roo or hen and what breed?

    I got these two and were told they were Orpington’s. But I am not sure. They are both crowing now too. I thought the one with the standing comb was a rooster because it’s been crowing for weeks. The other one just started crowing the last couple days. Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

    New member!

    Hi ya'll I'm a new member. I have 6 ISA brown hens (That's all I'm allowed to have in my county) about 9 weeks old. So far so good. I sure I will have a lot of questions. They have a 4'x8' she'd style coop with three nesting boxes and a roost. Once I can figure out how to post pics I will put...
