Hen or Roo...again, sorry

[NCchicken]

Well it has been brought to my attention that yet another one of my "hens" might actually be a roo. What do you think? Do I have a Lily or a Lenny?

 

[Missymac]

It looks like a hen to me, but I don't know much

 

[aubreynoramarie]

age?

 

[NCchicken]

Sorry, age would have been helpful. This chicken is about 10 weeks...born Jan. 21.

That's a tough one.
Look at his/her wings. The first sign my BLRW roos showed was deep red shiny feathers on their shoulders. You may have to pick him/her up and look though the wing/shoulder feathers to find them since they start out small, hidden behind other feathers. I find with this breed those are easier to identify males with than hackles.

Well shoot. I see those dark shiny deep red feathers you are talking about when I pick them up and look through the feathers on the shoulders. But what do the hens have then? I see those dark red shiny feathers on my other chicken that I am almost positive is a roo too though? Really, a roo then?

 

[storminstaffs]

I vote roo

 

[ninjascrub69]

Im gonna say roo also, sorry.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I guess I have a Lenny now
