My 4 "hens" (??) are almost 22 weeks old and still not laying. While sitting quietly with them this afternoon, I suddenly wondered (with a touch of horror and embarrassment) could they be roosters?? I've attached pictures of my buff orpingtons and they look so different. Is Thelma actually a "Theo"? I have also attached a photo of all 4 of them. I've had them since they were 3 days old...super tame, cuddly, sweet although Louise (clearly a hen with no comb) is skittish. One of the barred rocks is doing that funny "squat and stomp" when I pet her. Hoping that suggests "she is a she" and will start laying soon? We are newbies in chicken world and appreciate your help (or reassurance??)
