Hen or Roo

[Brooke Carson]

I think they are both female. Am I right? (If it helps you identify the two from each other, one has a dark head and the other has a light head)

 

[HorseGirlAbby]

Yes, both pretty little girls.

 

[SilverBirds]

Both are girls. That's a female specific feather pattern.

The salmon/brown color on the breast is a female only trait. Males of the same breeds would have black breast feathers.

Thanks! I did not know this about them. We bought other breeds from TSC along with these and the other supposed females seem to have about a 70% accuracy rate so I wasn't sure what to expect with these two and since one of them was squaring up with my Roo all the time I thought there was a chance it was a young Roo too.
