Hen or Roo ?

I would think so. He just seems like he matured faster than your other boys.

The other white/grey one had a comb and waffles first and not a sound yet . Chickens can be confusing LOL

I’ll keep everyone posted , depending on hurricane weather I’m going out and waiting for the sun this Saturday to hopefully hear another one crow lol

Thank you ! I do think the darker brown ones are hens and also #2 as she doesn’t have a comb at all yet but I am brand new ! I keep getting contradicting information. Is it true only Roos can have red tones on their wings ?

Some females will, but most often it's seen on males. Mixed bred males will often have bright blocks of colors.

I’ve been told males have pointed feathers and hens rounded if that’s the case only one other besides the white ones all have rounded feathers is that true ? I need eggs or crowing ASAP LOL

Yes, this is true. The male feathers come in between 10-20 weeks, sometimes longer.

Hey guys ! The one marked #1 became a man today and started crowing he seems to be better at it than my first roo so far !

6 and 7 are your only pullets.

I think 6 and 7 are the only pullets. #2 looks suspiciously cockerel despite the smaller comb - colouration is bright for a pullet of that age. Can you get a clearer photo of its comb?

It depends on the red, but the deep vibrant red patches are typically a good indicator of a cockerel.

Hey ! Her comb is light light pink , I’m 99%sure she’s a hen
