How old is my chicken?

[kennedy_humphrey_kennedy]

I was sold these chickens without the ages, both are already laying. Any guesses on the ages?

Hello, and welcome to BYC. You've gotten eggs from both birds ? The first sure looks like a cockerel to me.

Yes eggs from both. Which did you think was a cockerel?

The white bird has typical male coloring, and sure looks like it has pointy saddle feathers.

I’m pretty sure she’s payed and i’ve never heard any loud noises from her

I go by the legs and beaks. It is not an exact science, however, I would assume that these are over 2 years of age, maybe 3. The legs and beak look to be about that.

I also see male feathers on the white bird. Looks like a red sex link male.

As to ages I also think they are over 2 years old.

I think the bottom might be older than the top

First bird is a cockerel/rooster. He isn't giving you eggs.

I'd say they're around a year or so old. Leg scales don't look too aged. Hard to say though.

Are you sure it’s a rooster
