Wow, just like some human females I know. The hen below seems much younger to me than four months but she screamed hen to me so I picked her up. I didn't know what breed she is though but I saw more than one like her. I will try to get another. Very pretty but what kind? Good egg layers? I have four kids and we eat alot of eggs. I knew barred rocks were good layers, but have know idea what kind this sweetie is... Any guesses? And please tell me it's a girl!

Definitely know who the head hen is. Funny though, when we let these two out on the yard. The hen at the bottom of the pecking order was the first to take on the new arrivals.

I feel very sad that he took advantage of you like that.. Anyone who breeds BR can tell the difference between a hen and a roo by the time they are feathered. This is most definitely a BR roo.

My cockerel (same age as yours)

Pullet - also same age as yours. You would be able to notice the difference easily if you bred them (like the farmer).

Also, my BR male had a huge comb at a very young age when my pullet had hardly anything at all.
