I just got these two barred rocks that I was told would be hens. They are about 10-12 weeks old. The lady who bred them, sexed them by dangling a needle and thread over their heads to see which way it would swing. How can I tell if they are male or female. Will I know more in a few weeks. They also each have 1 red feather on their left side. Is that normal? They aren't crowing or anything. They are the most aggressive ones in the flock.

Hi I am having an

issue with my white plymouth rock, not sure if she is a he? We ended up getting a bantam cochin rooster but after I brought him home, my rock attacked him. They are tolerating one another as of now going on day 3, and there hasn't been any more fights but I have no clue if bernice, is actually bernie, they will be 12 weeks Nov 1st.

Is this a he or she? "IT" is only 10 weeks old so is it too early to tell?

really too early to tell, and the coloration seems to be that of a pullet.
