Do only roosters have spurs

[hdowden]

yes both of them are roosters

Those are definitely roosters. Hens can have spurs but they never have those long, skinny, draping, pointed feathers adorning the neck and lower back.

those are both roos fo sho, look at them saddle feathers and that big sickly feather coming off the tail, even its stance and stature says rooster, rir hens rarely have that much green in the tail, if its a hen my entire life is a lie lol.

Which feathers are the saddle feathers?

 

[RoostersCrow HensDeliver!]

The saddle feathers are the really long pretty feathers that hang down just in front of the tail.

Got the picture off Google & edited it.
