Looks like a roo to me! But I might be wrong. It has a roo like tail but it's sorta hard to tell.

Roo or hen?

I'm thinking this one is a rooster.

What do you guys think?

 

[BeckyLynn3021]

How old do you think they are? Trying to figure when they will start laying eggs.

Those oranges hens look about 5 months old to me

And barn yard chickens that Silkie looks like a roo to me! I could be wrong tho I'm pretty sure.

I got this supposed Ameraucana (even if she's an Easter Egger, that's ok by me) 8 week old pullet yesterday. She doesn't have a pronounced comb, but her tail feathers look rooster-ish. Should I be concerned or is this normal? TIA!

 

[AmyCat98]

I'm really not sure but a roo shouldn't have its tail feathers at 8 weeks I believe but it could depend on the breed. I've never had an Americana or an Easter egger before (but I want one!) so idk.

Cockerels.



EE is too young, but the other is a cockerel.



Actually, age of crowing depends on the individual. Some begin to crow at just weeks old, some at 7-8+ months of age. Males that are low in the pecking order might not crow much at all and start much later. The average is probably around six months old.

Does anyone have any idea about a rooster collar for crowing when he does? I don't want to give my girl/boy up
