2 month old hens, fairly sure they are all pullets but will pass it to the experts.
What does everyone think?

Saddle feathers, the yellowish ones near base of tail, see how they are pointy and swirl around the sides...
and Hackle feathers, the ones around the base of the neck

This is one of my EE X roos...roo #2 in charge...

Rooish behavior, strutting, and well over all "I'm in charge behavior"

Thanks I can't have roosters where i live but the nice thing is if I find I have one he gets to go back to the farm where he came from.
I will be able to get another pullet in exchange.
