Hen or roos

Summerashlee · May 11, 2020

Brought these 2 cuties 2weeks ago as hens I've notice that the smaller one Peking bantam is starting to pink up around the comb and wattle

can someone please help I've just rehomed a rooster due to neighbour's complaints it broke my daughter's heart

How old?

Can you get better pics of them from the side? Can see the back or tail feathers on the light one.

the dark one looks like a female, can’t see any pointy saddle feathers or wattle growth.

so, at 5-6 weeks the saddle feathers aren’t around yet. The comb color on the dark one could be cause for concern, but some breeds color up a bit faster. I’ve not had any bantams, so my experience is limited.
