I have 3 17 week old chickens? Hattie, the plymouth rock is a little bigger and a little more red. She seems to be the leader. I have not heard any crowing. Her tail feathers were a little funky today, bad hair day maybe. They don't usually stick up quite so far. I'm pretty sure the other two are chickens. Can anyone help confirm Hattie as a hen or roo please?

Sorry but this just cracked me up!​
 
I guess that was a kind of silly thing to say:gig Shall I rephrase...I'm pretty sure the other two are pullets!
 
LOL, I didn't notice that before. Didn't read the whole thing I guess.
 
Her saddle feathers look really rounded, not pointy, so I'm saying pullet. My 19wk BR has one feather in her tail that is starting to curve like that, but she does the hen squat now when I go to pick her up, and all her feathers are round not pointy. Hoping for eggs really soon!
 
She looks like my father-in-laws 5 barred rock hens, same size comb, waddles, and same shape tail feathers.
