I swear, I make a post saying "last possible rooster" then I turn around and there's a possibility of two more.
I've already given away half my flock for being roosters, so I'm really hoping these two pull through and are actually hens.
They are both Production Reds, I believe. They came from a pullet bin (but so far all the other "pullets" from the sexed females bin turned into roosters). They are showing absolutely no signs of being roosters (no crowing, no fighting, no hackle feather raising) but I noticed their wattles are rather large. I don't think I see any saddle feathers, but I'm not sure about the hackle feathers. I'm really worried about chicken #1, Sweet. As it has the largest wattles. I'm not familiar with this breed, so I don't know if their wattles are normal for hens or not, or what hen feathers are supposed to look like. So, your guesses will be much appreciated!
They are both 18-19 weeks old.
Chicken #1, Sweet:
Chicken #2, Sour:
