After 6 years I still cant tell the difference in a hen or roo......
This was my old girl, Raquel, at 8 weeks.. Everyone thought she was a roo but she laid eegs.
these youngins are 14 weeks. the one in the foreground I am sure is a pullet. the 2 behind her... well... they remind me of Raquel. I don't see saddle or any difference in the tails. yes they are a little lighter. And their combs and waddles are larger but my old girl had huge one too... My leghorn roo ( same age) is crowing but I have only seen the leghorn crow. The definite hen is more aggressive than the ones with the larger combs. Short of waiting another 2 months for eggs.. anyone have a guess at the 2 BR in the background sex?
