We got 3 chickens at 3-4 weeks old and have hand raised them. They are now about 3 months old. The white one was the baby- about a week younger than the other two and was much smaller. Now it is quite a bit bigger but is very tame & doesn't run away from us. The black one is clearly a hen in appearance and demeanor. The red one acts like a roo. The red and white one will do a little dance where they stretch their necks up a little, wiggle their heads side to side and stop- the white one seems to back down first- it's always a quick dance and hasn't escalated. One of these has started to crow in the morning before coming down from the top of their arc. We attempted to sex them by their wing feathersbut it looks we didn't succeed. None of them have Waddles. We are only allowed to have 3 hens- no Roos. I know the breeder had Orpingtons, Americaunas and Marans among other breeds. And they did cross breed. Breed and Gender Please. Thank you
