Here is an ad on craigslist in St. Louis area. Can you tell if it is a hen or tom? http://stlouis.craigslist.org/grd/1986847353.html

This copy of the ad has two pictures of it: http://springfieldil.craigslist.org/grd/1974809727.html


If it is a hen, I think I am going to contact the person and get it for having here for Tommy and also new hen pet.

Thanks for any help.

Would a blue slate and bourbon red be ok as a pair? I have them only as pets, not show or such.

I breed alot of slates and blue together. I posted some pictures in a post yesterday. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=405085

Your first generation would be black based split bronzed based. The next generation you can get alot more colors.

You could also get rusty blacks in the first generation. I can show you a picture of that too if you do not know what they are.​

Thanks everyone for letting me know what it is. I sent an email to the people asking how old and they said it is 4-5 months. Is that too young to put in with Tom? He is from spring 2009.

Look for a narrow line of feathers running up the back of the neck. Male necks are bald up behind their heads by that point. Hope you get her. She looks great!

It's relly hard to tell males and females apart until they are older.

For instance this Blue Slate Turkeys looks rather similar to the picture you have.

Though that birds turned out to look like this

Not a hen
