1st time chicken keeper, 1st post on here. Excuse me if I don't get this right. Any thoughts on whether this is a hen or a rooster. It was sold to me a pullet and it is 16/17 weeks old. Thanks.

Very pretty girl!
At that age, I would think the comb would be much redder. And as far as the red on her wings, if she were a he, it would be more patchy, as opposed to that pretty lacing Add in her posture and you should start seeing eggs in a month or so!

Thanks for your quick reply, crazy here and despite not posting, I do lurk a lot!!! You were right, Ozma. Is Oz...

and crows ALL the time!

The littles are still not confirmed! DG is in the front / left and Nimue is in the back/right. They are very camera shy! They are almost 14 weeks old.

Tried to delete but was unsuccessful....

Ozma has very big red comb and very red patches on the wings. Those are boy's characteristics. What I don't see much is a tail.  Maybe he's just slow in growing out his tail. Also, his legs are yellow. Do you know what his parents are?


As for your 6 week old EEs, too much light in the pictures that the colors and patterns don't show up well. From what I can tell DG might be a girl, and Nimue may be a boy. If possible, please post side and comb pictures with less light.

You were right, Ozma is Oz. He crows all the time!

The tnys are still undetermined, DG is on the left/front and Nimue is in the back/ right. 14 weeks old.
