Hen or rooster

[Carmouche]

Can anyone tell me if these are hens or rooster and how can you tell? They are 4 months old. Thanks

The Leghorn and Easter Egger look to be pullets.

At 4 months they would have bigger/redder combs and waddles. But the tell all comes from the saddle feathers... which *should* be starting to show by the age you stated...

But also... they aren't sporting any male coloration in their feathers which would definitely be showing by now in both. And the brown leghorn roo, changes pattern practically... The partridge look kinda goes away if you will...

Hope this helps.

Pullets..... not hen. They won't be hens until their a year old. Same with cockerels and roosters.

My God that's a gorgeous rooster! Don't think I've seen a more perfect example of what a rooster should look like!

Scoured from the internet to show a brown leghorn coloring.

But yes he's pretty.
