That is a hard one. The comb on the bird on the right is not a big as a rooster but appears, in the picture, to be larger than a hen. I am leaning toward hen but it is really hard to tell, sorry.

so a hen can be "combless" or have small comb? Ty for all your help

I was just out cleaning the run when I kept hearing my female sorta yelping, sounded awful. Looked in the coop to see her standing with her head and and body pushed in a corner, kinda shaking her head, her toes were all curled in (still standing) thought she was injured, it was so painful to watch. Anyway in the end she was laying an egg!!! It was normal sized they just started laying 2 weeks ago, every other day my 2 girls lay. Anyone else witness theirs painfully lay an egg???? I hope she doesn't go through this everytime! She did walk right back outside like nothing happened after

I have always thought if you could translate the so-called "egg song" of chickens (large or small) that it would not actually be a song but more something like "give me pain pills and give them to me now!!!!!"

Lol this was not the normal egg song. It was as if she was badly injured, I was freaking out thinking maybe she was attacked by another chicken, looking over her head for injuries since she was shaking so badly

Was the egg unusually large for a Sebright? I have noticed that mine make a sound like a Peacock when they are laying.

Same size as their other eggs they have been laying

How lucky for you. If you get the chance post pictures. I have 3 Silvers and 2 Goldens and I love them. They are friendly and very sweet, but really flighty so make sure they have a covered run.
