Rooster or Hen Please Help!

[MJ1985]

Hi Everyone! My husband and I have 6 New Hampshire Red Chickens but I have no idea which ones are Roosters. This is all new to me. Can anyone please tell me if this is a Rooster or a Hen. Thank you.

Pullet.

Awesome! Thank you for your help.

This is my Easter Egger cockerel at 4 months for you to compare. He's a darker shade of red then you New Hampshire, but you can see the feathers around his neck and near the base of the tail are different, and his tail is solid black. If your bird were male, it would look a lot like my boy.

Oh wow big difference none of mine resemble him so I must have all females.

Yep, you have all girls. They should be laying in a few more weeks, judging by their red combs.

We got our first egg yesterday! So exciting! Thanks again for all your help.
