Chicken or Rooster ????

[Countryhippie]

Hi everyone.

I recently got a bunch of pullets and I was just wondering if anyone could tell if for certain they are chickens or roosters. One of my chickens has a lot bigger comb than all the others.

Pictures are attached. Please help!

Just so you know, chickens actually are roosters. I think the question you're asking is "Are they Pullets (young females) or Cockerels (young males)". "Hen" is the right term for an older female chicken. "Rooster" is the right term for older male chickens.

The one in the first picture (with a big comb), to me, looks like a male.
The rest look like females.

Do you mind taking some more pictures of the one with the big red comb? (take some pictures of his/her tail, neck area, comb, and full body please)

Well they are all chickens. It would be Hens or Roosters! I see two cockerels, two in the first one, two in the last one. (Which I think are the same birds.)

I think what you mean is roosters actually are chickens.
All roosters are chickens but not all chickens are roosters.
