Hen or rooster?

[ellecaley]

Hi! I'm wondering about a brown leghorn with a larger comb than same age sibling

. They are all about 5-6 months old. No eggs, no mating behavior from any of them. Thanks!

Those are both hens. Leghorns are easy to tell as the roosters are a different color from the hens. Your redder combed girl is closer to laying, you should be getting white eggs in a few short weeks. The other girl will catch up in comb development when she's ready to lay.
