Hen or Roo

[satkinson]

Hello

Hoping for some help, I thought this chicken was a hen, but am starting to think it's actually a roo

We have three about the same age (7-8 month) barnyard mix

chickens and none are laying, or crowing yet.

I'm gonna guess roo. Those saddle feathers look too long for a hen.

Agree

Darn, that's what I'm thinking but was hopeful for a hen

Our first clue should have been that she is literally double the size of the other two. Hopefully the other two are actually hens

You could post pics of them if you want

So the black one I'm pretty sure is a hen, my aunt ended up with a rooster and mine looks like the rest of her hens (thankfully) but then the brown girl is where I'm not sure again. She had a matching brown one (we got them from the same place) and now that they are maturing, hers has stayed brown, and mine has blue feathering, and I swear I see saddle feathers. Neither of them are near the size of the grey one.

Sorry "hers" referring to my aunts chickens!
