EE 21 weeks, hen or roo?

These are all of my “girls”... the four that were walking in my mulch eating the weeds all squat for me. They are the ones that I’m pretty sure are laying.

None of the pictured chickens are cockerels. They should be commencing egg production very soon!

Update on my EE: he or she has still not lain an egg and it's been 39 weeks. No crowing either.

The fact that it hasn't laid an egg isn't too surprising. Days are lengthening, so hopefully soon. We had some dark brown leghorns (DBL) that laid at: 38 weeks, 44 weeks, and not yet by the time we sold them around 45 weeks. But, comparatively, the rest of the flock-mates of the same age (5 different breeds) began to lay much earlier, between 18-24 weeks.

We had an accidental EE cockerel (supposed to be female) and it was silent....never crowed by the time it was butchered, which was around 4 months (so young age), but we had some DBL boys that were crowing a lot by around 3 months - they seemed to mature early.

All are pretty pullets, as stated above.
