Could she be a Roo?

[mgregor]

We adopted some hens about three months ago. We have one who acts a lot different than the others. She is standoffish (with us and the other hens), she is aggressive to the other chickens.
we don't think she has laid an egg yet (she does sit).
We have witnessed her mounting the other hens.
I have no idea how old they are but she is rather huge. Could she be a rooster?

Any male saddle feathers? They are long, thin, and very shiny around the base of the tail.

I have a few mature hens with spur buds and even spurs. It's a hen, so nothing to worry about.

Looks like a hen to me.

A shot of the full bird from side would be helpful, but I agree that so far it looks like a hen. She's probably just jockeying for top of the pecking order.

Hen is my guess.

I think she has to be a she? We are getting fertilized eggs... They have to be coming from somewhere.

That's a hen. There are no male features at all.
