View attachment 1048371 I was told this is a hen, but I can't tell. Acts like a Roo. Can anyone tell me if it is Hen or Roo. Thanks.

This one is an obvious cockerel if you know what to look for. See the area of dark red feathers in the middle of the wing? When you see that on a black or blue bird, It's a cockerel.

Did you take a picture 3 weeks ago? Having both would help get the age right.

They MIGHT be buff Rocks and barred Rocks but could also be mixed breeds.

Just took the pictures today. They were baby chicks when we got them.

Age?

The black one is 7 weeks now (hatched May 1). We got the red one a week later at Orschlens, so it's probably 6 weeks now?

Feathering takes ~4-6 weeks for the average chick. If they were downy babies, just wingtips when you got them 3 weeks ago, they're about 4 weeks old. If they were halfway feathered, add two weeks. Photos: 3 days, 2 weeks, 4 weeks:

Hi, wondering what your thoughts are about my black copper marans, hens or roos? They are about 10 - 12 weeks old now. Thanks for any help!

Looking like pullets so far. If there is a large comb growth over the next couple weeks, then worry. Otherwise, looking normal.

Cockerels. That's a ton of comb development and I'm pretty sure I see saddles coming in.

Almost 7 week old blue laced red Wyandottes. I tried to get a couple different chicks and pics I think these are five different chicks. I'm also curious if the different patterns could help tell genders, like how #3 has little lacing which Roos seem to have (I'm not sure the difference in the look of saddle feathers)

I'm thinking 1,2, 6 would be roos but three confuses me
