He or she Columbian Rock

[AndersonFolk]

When our local store sold two Columbian Rocks to use early in the year, we were told these two are girls. Now that they are about 4-5 months old, is she a he?!
Wouldn't both me, just wondering.

Both of them have big crowns, but the girl / boys is BIG!

Anyone know?

Definitely a rooster

Looks like a hen with a very large comb. Comb size isn't always a way to determine a bird's gender. Some hens have very large combs. However, feathering doesn't lie, and your bird does not have rooster feathering. It is lacking the longer curved tail, long shinny pointed hackle and saddle feathers, as well as general male body type.

Sorry, was out of town yesterday. More pics.

Still think she is a she?

Henny Penny!

The large comb and bad angle in the first pic made it look a roo, but these new pictures tell us that you should be betting eggs soon!
