    22 or 23 week old Feverolle

    Edit: thank you BYC for allaying my paranoia. I appreciate how fast you were able to confirm what I thought: my sassy loudmouths are hens! So I'm being told conflicting information about these loudmouths in my coop. I already have two roosters so I don't need two more. I am not familiar with...
