Hen OR Roo

[bluegoose]

I need some help on this one, last april I got some ringneck pheasant eggs and this is one that hatched out with them.I think it is a black mutant. I cant tell if its a hen or rooster no spur just a small bump like a hen would have but it has the red around its eye like a roo but not as much as the other roos and its about the size of my red golden roos.I hope you can tell from the pic it was freaking out and wouldnt hold still so I could get a good pic.

Do hens have spurs like roosters on there legs,I have a couple of birds that look the same but 1 has spurs.

I have two hens with small spurs or more like bumps. only the roosters will have spurs.
