Rooster?

[Rudyk]

These three hens I got at 8-10 weeks old two months ago. I was told they were two Australorps and a Red Cross. One of them has furry legs so I guess that means it's not an Australorp. In the last couple of weeks I have seen big changes in the tall one. (S)He is way bigger and now acting a little more aggressive. Flaring out neck feathers while running at the other two. Yesterday she lifted her leg to almost kick one of the girls.

Is it a rooster?

yes roo the other hint is the off color showing on the wings. that's also a hint of not pure australorp.. that's a common result of crossing black with colored chickens.

but the other thing is it doesnt seem like any have single combs... looks pea combed or walnut? anyways that's a definite proof they are not lorps. could be crossed with indian game(cornish)

Well, thanks everyone for your feedback. I'm loving this new foray into urban farming and have become obsessed with hanging out with my girls (and now fella).
