Rooster or hen? (still a novice apparently)

[1chicwithchicks]

So my friend called me the other night because these 2 beauties wandered into the lobby of her restsurant in the city & she knew I (as her country friend) had chickens. I'm confident the one is a hen but questioning this one...rooster? Or perhaps I'm paranoid...I already have 1 rooster that gives me a run for my money & don't think my small flock of 11 (which includes 2 guineas) will support another. Also any guesses on age & breed? My flock is young...approx. 6 mo. Finally any advice on incorporating them with my very peaceful flock is welcome...I've read up but want to be sure I'm not missing anything. Thanks all!!!

You are correct he is a he.

Sure would have been nice if he was a she.

The red one in the back.....can we get a couple pics....I think she is a he too.

I started to say that too! I thought I was dumb but the one in the background looks like a cockerel also to me but I am not very experienced so....

I was thinking the same thing. Couldn’t see tail feathers clear enough to be sure. But both cockerel I think... they look young maybe 6 monthish (not a word but it is now)

oh no! "Im confident the one is a hen" (face palm!). No spurs cuz they're too young... and now I get why they're so much taller than my hens (my rooster is a bantam)... and why no eggs for 3 days - I just thought they were old or stressed crap...guess I'll start looking for a home for 2 roostersWish they woulda crowed at least....(feeling dumb)

I agree, they're both male.

It is not dumb to be hopeful.
