And then there were 4....but are they all hens????

We are down to these four. I am pretty sure the yellow is a pullet but not sure of the other three. They are 12 weeks old and nobody cock-a -doodles or seems particularly bossy. We had 2 roos one crowed and the other attacked me and then my husband so they found new homes. I am a little concerned about the 2 long tail feathers a couple of them have. Nobody has pointy saddle feathers. They are all pretty round. No remarkable combs or waddles either. Could we have all hens? We plan on buying a few more after Labor Day off 4h.

The first one appears to be roo cause of the cycle feathers, and the bottom one appears to be roo-ish, I could be wrong, closer pics would help, lol.

 

[hdowden]

you mean sickle

im not sure looks like part of its tail is missing

Any thoughts on second one? I am on the fence about the first and last ones. Not sure about those tail feathers. First one is finally getting waddles but not much.

Lol, yea. Now that you mention that hmmm

Ok, Sickle. I am new to chicken language! No Missing feathers that is just how they are growing in. 2 long ones and it is getting silver lacing on it's chest if that means anything. The comb and waddles on first one are dark almost purplish.

Thats a roo then

 

[ChickenExtreme]

Do you have a better side pic of the second bird?

 

[leadwolf1]

I don't see anything that screams roo to me...right now, I'd say all pullets.

The comb is fooling me, but it has sickle feathers and it has the long legs?
