Hi! These sweeties are right at 9 weeks old. Nobody is strutting, and everyone still has the skinny feather mowhawk on the head. Occasionally they will spread their tails out, but it mainly seems to be when something spooks them which I know hens will do.

Is it likely these are all hens, or do I still have time before I can tell?

I’ve only had BB breeds before this, and I feel like my toms were strutting at this age.

They need to be at least 3 months old and better by 6 months to be able to sex them from pictures.

Just guessing I would say that they are not all hens.

Thanks. The pictures are more for show than anything. I’m looking for Tom behavior right now, mainly… just not seeing it.
