Hen, no cycle feather in the tailHi all, i've got a production red bird recently, and I think its a hen, but a couple things have me wondering.
It's bigger than my other two birds, which are RIR and Buff Orpington Hens. And her (his) comb/wattle is bigger than I've seen on any other bird I've had, including a White Leghorn I had a few years back. There's also a little black on her/his tail feathers. I'm not sure how old s/he is, I'd guess maybe four or six months? I haven't heard much more noise from my birds than normal, and Id've thought if it was a rooster it would've started crowing already?
So, hen or rooster?
