Could this rooster be a hen?

[Kota Kurios]

I've assumed this six month old bird was a rooster, based on the big floppy comb and tail feathers. Admittedly, I have very little idea what I'm talking about though, I just assumed he was a he because he looked so different from the rest.

Well, I came home this afternoon to discover him in one of the nests. I know roosters sometimes hang around in the nest like that, but about ten minutes later I heard "the egg song", and lo and behold, there was a warm egg in the nest where he was sitting. Was he maybe just sitting on an egg and keeping it warm, and then celebrating? Or could he be a she?

Definetly a hen.

Wow, thanks. Close call too, I was planning to retire him before Christmas! Any idea what breed SHE might be?

Brown leghorn hen

She looks similar to my French Black Copper Maran hens. Not exactly but similar in comb and neck coloring.

She looks like my brown leghorn. I love her white earrings.

Light brown leghorn, I have just like her but mine is a rosecomb version

 

[RogerTheChicken]

And yes it is a hen

With a comb like that she is going to be a fantastic layer!

Yes, brown leghorn hen. She will lay you lots of white eggs
