A (Hen) or usually called female lines are set up to produce better females than males when they are bred.Where as most breeders prefer male lines so they can have better males for showing,There are some very good female lines of OE around the country.I dont have a female line myself but they do look more like female line than male line to me.Maybe that will help you a little.I will try to post a pic of two of my male line cock birds so you can see the difference.
