Rooster or Chicken

[Penton]

New Question: How do two roosters effect a small backyard flock (six hens)? What do I do with roosters I didn't want? I was told I had to have a rooster to make my hens happy. Can't I just have happy hens without a rooster? I don't want fertilized eggs, just breakfast. Any ideas?

I think Henrietta, in the foreground, is a possibly a rooster. I don't have a clear picture of her yet. Is there anyway to tell for sure? Rudy, the rooster, is in the background. Thanks...........

X2 Henrietta is also a rooster. There are saddle feathers coming in and the dark patches on the shoulders. The BYC Learning Center article has pictures on what to look for. https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/is-my-chicken-a-pullet-hen-or-a-cockerel-cock

The wing patches are a strong indication of a cockerel.

Both birds in the photos are roosters.

Both are boys. FYI, a rooster is a chicken.
