This chicken is about 3 months old and we have another one the same age who is a rooster and is already crowing every morning. We though she was a hen but they are too similar in looks so wondered if anybody could help us in telling us the breed and gender?
 
Arent they more brownish red, when they were chicks I was thinking leghorn... We got two of the chicks expecting girls and looks like we have two roosters
 
The female chicks are brownish red; the males are yellow (turn white with brown as they age). This is how they're able to be sexed at hatch.

They looked like this when they were chicks and the farmer said they were girls but numerous people have said that because they were whitish yellow they are both boys! Only one of them crows at the minute though, thank god. The back chick is the one that I was wondering about because it's smaller and just seems a different temperament
