Hen or Rooster??????

[Lyon3mchics]

I am new at this so forgive me in advance.......

I am starting to wonder if one of my girls ain't a boy. My three "girls" are 26 weeks and I am starting to notice some different behavior in one. What should I look for?????

The Roo's will have long saddle feathers on their back. Right by the base of the tail, they are long and pointy.By 26 they should be pretty obvious if you know what to look for. I dont have any pics of them so I hope someone will come along and post pics of the saddle feathers for ya... Mine also had MUCH bigger leggs and feet than the girls....

your gonna love it here on BYC

If you could post pics of them in the What Breed/Gender section, I'm sure some of us could tell you.


Here is how to post pics if you dont know how. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=504

Here's a pic of my roo with saddle feathers. Not the best pic, but can you see the long pointy shiny feathers between his wings and tail?

Here's a pic of a hen (his daughter, actually

). See the short rounded "normal" feathers on her back?
