Lol, no, hens lay without a roo... I explain it to people that don't understand how that's possible this way: I don't need my husband around to ovulate or to go through my normal menstrual cycle, but I do need him to make a baby... Hens do not need cocks to produce an egg, but they do need him...

Having a rooster has nothing to do with maturing or egg laying.

BTW, the pic I posted of the BA pullet I took today specifically to post for the op. She is 21 weeks 3 days old. She is not laying yet, but has been showing all signs for any day now.

I'm wondering, is it possible that they may be Jersey Giants... I don't have any of those, but have heard that they appear similar, and they mature much slower.

Quote: That's exactly what I thought. I'm going to look for some shots of my girls around 2 or 3 months.

I don't think she is 9 months.

Maybe you should take a few pictures and post on the what breed or gender is this section and someone should be able to help you out there.

[/img] 5 month old pullet [/img] 5 month old cockerel. These guys were easy to tell their sex very early. The comb on Big Boy was huge at 2 months. Boys have the large combs and waddles, the have the impressive sickle feathers in their tail, and let's not forget the pointy saddle...

Give me a few minutes and I will post some pics for you.

By 9 months you would know if they were roosters just looking at them.
