x2.

That HEN has a very healthy comb / wattle color. The others that are pink are either 1) not laying right now due to age or molting or 2) are sick or wormy

Ya see this is the issue, I bought them from a farm, where there were 20 some other chickens and he said his rocks were about 2.
So confused!!!

The first pic is a hen. The second pic, that hen--yeah, either molting or young or something. First pic hen should be laying.

Ok, so, I'm sorry but how does their age make it confusing? It's a hen. Those that called her a roo obviously have never had a BR roo, they are MUCH lighter than the girls and the combs and wattles are MUCH bigger than hers. They were probably just comparing her to the other hen like you were. She's a she.

If the others that are pink are not molting, I highly recommend deworming them, asap.

My hens are 29 weeks NOW, that picture, the ones in the back aren't laying at 25 weeks....the one in the front was the only one laying in the picture.
They are now all laying...my roo was about 26 weeks old in this shot.

IF your hen is 2 yrs old...it should be laying eggs....

It looks like a hen to me . Should be laying soon . Good luck

bB the tail shape and poofy butt, I would definately say a hen. Comb is a little larger than some hens but that tail and body shape aren't that of a rooster in my eyes
