Is my Royal Palm a Male or Female....PIC HEAVY :)

[RickiHupp]

Okay so now I am really questioning myself now!! I "thought" I had 2 blue slate toms and one royal palm hen....I know the slates are toms. Can anyone help me with the "hen"?? She struts around my hubby, coos and purrs, the other toms mount her, she has been trying to lay on chicken eggs.

Please help...the first picture is of her "strutting"

Here she is "normal"

AND Here are the Toms
(all three are the same age)

Thanks for anybodys input!! I am also going to post some chicken pics to see what breed they are...look for those

Hen. Dominant hens will strut.

Looks like a hen to me. Females will strut if they feel really happy or really upset. In males you should start feeling a beard starting to come through the skin of their chest, although I have a hen that has a very small one, but thats just her...LOL

when males display their snood gets really long, and they have a beard

In that case I'm pretty sure it's a hen. Glad I could help.

LOL!!! I didnt think she was laying yet but yesterday just as I was walking out to the coop she laid one!! Its a lightish brown with dark speckles all over it...very pretty egg!!
