    Roostesr or hens?

    Hens DEFINETLY, if roosters, they would have sickle shaped saddle and tail feathers.(and a noticeably longer tail and larger combs and wattles) A rooster would probably be crowing a good bit by that age.

    Breed? Male or Female?

    They look alot like Brahmas. to me. They're most likely the same breed, just different plumage types. I assume Brahma because of the darker feathers on the hackle and tail of the light one, and also the feathering on the legs. If they are bantam Brahmas, they will still be close to the size of a...

    What is this hen?

    The feather coloring looks a lot like our Brown Leghorns, Leghorns also have a bit bigger tail than usual for a hen. The yellow shanks are also a characteristic in Leghorns. If they are Leghorns, they will start to develop a larger comb that will lay to one side(in hens).

    Gender and breed help, please?

    I agree that they are Delawares because of the mainly white feathers on the body, and black feathers at the hackle and tail, and also the yellow shanks; hard to tell for sure about gender because of the mainly lighter plumage.

    Questions about my coop and winter...

    We have a much bigger run than you guys, but what we did was board up the top half around the run and put a heat lamp that we used when they were chicks in the brooder and clamped it in the top corner of the run and let the heat circulate in the run and into the coop(which also only has a square...

    Rooster or Hen?

    Rooster definitley, because of the greenish long tail feathers and the sicle-shaped saddle and hackle(neck) feathers. Looks just like our ameraucana rooster did at that age he's about 2yrs old now, see him at the "Ameraucana" album on Galleries by Varner flock.
