Let us know when "she" crows

Thanks Honeysuckle, will do... these 5 were replacements for 5 that were wrong breed sent. So I have 5 six month BRs laying daily, and these younger five. Wouldn't mind if she were a surprise roo but not holding my breath.

I agree, the color seems roo at first glance, but the rest of the bird is all girl.

That youngster is about 12 weeks old if you have the age right. That is a pullet with lighter coloring--look at my Zane at 12 weeks old, huge comb, saddle feathers and all. BR males have huge combs way before 12 weeks.

Here's his older brother when he was just about 8 weeks old-note the comb on that boy at even that age:

Speckled hen I see what you mean. There are no pointed feathers at all, very round just wider barring than the others in same age group. Thanks for your input!!!
