Roo or Hen

[Wendyhuckins]

I have 2 RIR that I swear are both Roos. They’re about 12/13 wks old but seem awfully big for that age! They’re always chest bumping each other, they leave the other 2 girls alone for the most part. Can anyone help? Thank you!

It’s all the same bird..but I assumed as much. How do you know for sure? The black ones, I think they’re some kind of Brahma, are supposed to be Hens but they’re younger and haven’t even gotten tail feathers yet…

His comb and his tail shows it.

Then I guess I’ve got 2 Roos… oh goodie!! Lol! Both of my Reds are pretty big and have large combs and wattles

The black birds from what I can tell are Australorps (assuming bottoms of feet are white). Both Production Reds are definitely cockerels with those huge combs for their age and sex-specific feathering
