Hen or roo?

[KaleighG]

I have questions on these 2 they are like 2 weeks older now and I noticed the 1. One acts like they want to crow and they stand straight up in a weird way, #2 seems like a hen but now has tusks

Beautiful chickens! How old are they, and I am not sure what “tusks” are?

I think the first pic is a cockerel and the second a pullet I’m going by the hackles.

Both are pullets. The first one has female specific coloring and a tiny pale comb, so it is not a cockerel.

What are they - Easter Eggers?

Like this, I just heard the farmer that I bought them from say that they are maybe 10-12 weeks when I bought them they had been without the heat lamp for a couple weeks

Well, they are cuties. I’m wondering if he was saying “tufts”, like on their cheeks?

I have two that look very different, one is huge and thick, one is smaller, and they lay the most lovely green eggs. Mine on more skittish than my other girls, but love their eggs
