hen or rooster?

[pollocutie]

i ordered 5 hens from murray mcmurray, and i'm almost positive one of our rhode island reds is a rooster, and one of our whiting true blues looks like a rooster too. can someone confirm this for me please? thank you so much!

How old are they? They do look like boys to me

sorry! they hatched on may 26, so they are about 10 weeks

Boys.

In that case I would say they are definitely boys. That’s a lot of comb for that age for the RIR and I can’t see the comb on the second one but that patchy red is a pretty good indicator and I think I see hackle and saddle feathers coming in.

I agree, both cockerels
