These are my barred rocks, hatched a little over 4 weeks ago. I have a pretty good idea what they are but theres a few Im confused about. The 3 I am almost certain to be hens are quite a bit darker than the others, but theres 11 total, so I am in disbelief I have 8 roos! Two have a much wider comb starting and are lighter so I assume they are roos, but there are a few with a higher comb than the others, but not wide like some, those are the ones im confused about... HELP! lol
High comb but no wattles... hen?
