Is this a hen or a rooster

[AlmostaFarm47106]

This chicken was sold to me as a rooster but I'm wondering if it really is. It roosts right next to my big rooster, gets into my nesting boxes and digs, and I've never heard it crow. Is it a hen or a young rooster?? I just can't tell.​

Welcome to BYC! Well if it lays an egg, you'll know! It looks a lot like my brown leghorn hens....

Brown Leghorn female, hen or pullet depending on age.

Looks like a brown leghorn hen or maybe a welsummer hen to me.

Can you get a picture of the bird standing instead of being held?
What breed did they say it was where you got it?

Unless its still quite young, as in less than five months, it's definitely a female.

Leghorns have huge combs, hens or roosters. It’s easy to think that a leghorn hen is a rooster. Look for sickle feathers to indicate a cock, or droopy tail feathers.
