We have 4 'hens' that we got from the farm store locally, and we are worried two of them are roo's... heart breaking for my kids.
They are 4.5 weeks old (5 week on Wednesday!). The Barred Rock got her/his comb two weeks ago, and is tall and getting red...
the New Hampshire Red is top of the pecking order, and yesterday pecked the Barred Rock's comb until it bled! The New Hampshire is getting her feathers the slowest, but is definitely the bully. Any suggestions? They are still in their brooder...
The first picture are our two hens, for sure, Rhode Island Red and Barred Rock
The second picture is the New Hampshire red in question. Can you see the comb?
Here are her/his feathers
This is the barred rock that we assume is a rooster.. could the comb be that high and be a hen?
