That's EXCELLENT news but I'm getting confused. Can you explain why ya think so?

That for sure is a hen, she doesn't have long saddle feathers, like a roo would and also if it were a boy it would be crowing already, my roo started crowing at less then 10 weeks of age....I think you got yourself two pullets and the one with the more red comb, is going to be laying within a week or 2

3 out of 5 say HEN. I'll go with hen that is going to lay soon. Woohooo. The birds are about 18 weeks old. I'll take it! Yippeeeeee!

Are they the same age? It looks to me like he's got saddle feathers coming in.

That would be nice to do sometimes....or they could at least be like a puppy! Time will tell what you've got. Compare them and see if the saddle area feathering looks different on them.

Nice hen you have there.

Legs are not thick, stature is of a hen, tail and saddle feathers say hen, comb and wattles aren't big enough to be a roo.


Hen

Rooster
