I need Hens but am not positive that these are. Please help! Thanks.

Was told they are year old hens. Had them for one week on Friday but no eggs.

They look like Roosters to me but I might be wrong. UHOH!

They look like roos to me too. I would say they are around 4 months old. Roosters will not have spurs at 4 months. It would have been good to get more video of their tails and saddles. Do they have thin, long pointy saddle feathers? I would pull the feathers apart on their back above tail to look for saddle feathers coming in.

Someone pulled a fast one on you. Those are both roosters.

how do I do this, not sure what saddle feathers are.

Yeah both roosters- either you were flat out lied to or the person is Seriously ignorant.

Saddles refer to the feathers on the back. Those birds are showing liberal amounts of super shiny and pointy rooster feathers on the saddles, hackles(neck) and even sickles(long curvy roo feathers over the 'real' tail).

If anybody tries to question them being roosters- do not listen because those are definitely roosters!
