Brand new Chicken owner!

[Hells]

Hi! I live on the south coast of England and have recently got my first three chickens. I have to admit - I am in love!! I believe they are Plymouth Barred Rocks and they are about three and a half months old. We think they are all girls but one of them has a much redder face than the others - none have much in the way of combs but being an absolute novice I am afraid I may have a rooster. Will try to upload some photos soon and perhaps someone can help me?

I wouldn't give up yet, pullets get redder in the face and comb when they are approaching point of lay.

Hope you have all girls.

Welcome to BYC. The bird with the reddening face may just be closer to egg laying than her flockmates.

Keeping chickens is the best thing I have ever done for myself, so I know what you mean.
