Roo or Hen. Please Help?

That's pullet.

Thank you for your help! That gives me some relief. Now I just need to separate these cockerel's I think. I feel for the black and white one. If he truly is a He, he is frightened of the white cockerel and stays laying if he's outside or is in the nesting box when he's inside. Both roosters have attempted to mount him. Thats the only reason I had hopes he was a she.

This is the white cockerel. Started rooing later than the other cockerel and behaving worse the past couple weeks. Trying to be the dominant one but Roosty, my largest one has already established his dominance. Black and white one is back in hiding.

With young cockerels, I usually let them settle their differences, supervised in incase it turns ugly.

I'll try that. I'd rather them stay together. They just recently starting to be nasty to each other. The 2 Australorp's aren't fazed by them and are larger. They love the Alpha and aren't missing any feathers or showing signs of over-mating. I really appreciate your help again! Brown eggs taste the same as the colored and I'm just happy we've made it this far.

Egg color has no influence on taste, or nutrient levels. It's the diet that effects that.
