Rooster or hens?

[elizwlsn]

These were born 7/23/07 and bought as day old pullets. They don't seem to have saddle feathers or the tail feathers of roosters but the combs are huge. I have 5 BO and 1 Jersey giant and am getting 4 or 5 eggs a day and have had a couple of 6 egg days but wonder if it's because we didn't find all the day before as we free range them. So do I have a rooster?

What do you all think?

Those are both hens!

They just have huge combs? They are so big in the back of their heads they are bending over!

I've been wanting to get a rooster but have been unsure if I already had one so wanted to wait till I got it figured out.

you have yourself a couple of nice looking girls.

we hatched 3 boys and one girl about a week before yours were hatched. i was kinda disapointed cause we wanted more girls. but that's how i can compare them.

if they were boys they would definetly be crowing by now and have big waddles to go with the combes. they would also have the pretty tail feathers that are curly on the end.

Hens, no doubt about it.

Hens with big combs they should lay well.

A couple of my hens have large combs like that too.

Hens. Even hens have big red combs, usually when they're laying.
