Do you see the look in the eye of #2? Oh yeah........he’s a roo. He’s daring you to question him. It’s all in those evil eyes!!!

This one sits in and polices the pop door!

 

[artsvarc]

Just warning ya, just because they crow doesn't mean they are a rooster.

Really? Ugh.

Really? Ugh.

It is rare don't worry! but there are hens who crow...

#2 looks like it has leg bar mix , um that one does have a large comb and a part of me wants to say roo. But it could go either way, it looks pale. I think another picture in 2 weeks would help even more

It is really rare, and usually occurs in older hens. Some hens have problems with their ovaries causing the production of female hormones to decrease; and they will stop laying. Those hens can develop a cock's hackle and saddle feathers, grow spurs, crow and mount other hens. Genetically though they are still female, and like I said it is rare and generally occurs most often in older hens.
