Hiya, Sunni, and welcome to BYC!

You can post a picture of your chickens in the What Breed or Gender forum and folks will affirm if those are hens or not. We'd love to see pictures too!

We're glad you're here!

Here are my chickens i hope they are all hens im not sure about the wyandotte always has been the smaller one and gets picked on some but the feathers are different then the other wyandotte.

I think the top in peicking order is the red and 2nd is cinnamon queen.

They are 19 weeks. Praying I dont have a roo because id have to rehome im not allowed Roos.

My olive egger does this weird long low bawk. I call it her singing. The others chirp and sqwuak a little bit not super vocal.
