Hen? Rooster? Australorp? Orpington?

Is there a way to gently 'sex' them at this age like one would a rabbit? No visible 'stuff', but tucked into a shallow pocket lay the 'crown jewels'?

No all chickens have their junk inside.

Sadly my hen was a he not a she. Gertrude has found a home on a ranch where he will work on a 'Bug Prevention Team'. He is on an organic local farm.Plenty of food and water all organic!! They say they are a no kill facility and can be viewed from the street. In my head I think he came from there. We found him wandering about 2 acres from that ranch and there are many chickens there of his 'breed'. Okay they look like him for all you savoy poultry people that know I can't tell a hen from rooster. Lol! Just so you know there is a small electric predator fence with just enough charge to keep the chickens in and coyotes out. Lots of space to roam inside. I hope he has a wonderful life there. I miss him already! ---> Thank you for all your help! I am grateful!

That's so nice to hear that you found a good home for him. He is a very lucky boy!
