Roo or Hen?

[mispollitos]

I have one chicken left that is in question because it's comb is so much smaller than the rest. My chickens are now 18-19 weeks.

Those are all males. They look like black sexlink males, not pure BRs. I'm not sure which of that group you're referring to, though I don't see any girls on that picture.

They sure do look like roos to me!

I was speaking of the one with the small comb front center & doesn't have any hackle feathers/those long stringy feathers around the neck

by the way...i'm going to have one of those roos for dinner tonight! Just waiting for my son to come home and do the honors of draining the blood from it's neck! lol I want a hen! not a cackle doodle doO!

I suppose if you want to be sure it's a roo, separate it from the main flock and see if it crows after a while. That's a very red comb for a hen and I'm pretty sure it is a roo, though I suppose if you're not seeing any saddle or hackle feathers you might have a chance...

Tell me how "organic" chicken tastes! I only get store-bought roast ones every once in a while as I don't eat black silkie meat
