Swedish flower hen

[RonHerman]

We have recently acquired a Swedish flower hen (3 months old) who's actions remind me of a rooster. She has gone after our silkie roo and has started to peck and attack our black sex link (She is over 1 year old) and the other silkies are (5 1/2 months old) Can anyone tell me or show me what their legs look like at 3-4 months old?

Looks to be a Cockerel -2nd pix the hackle & saddle feathering can be seen & Pic 4 the size/color of the comb/wattles. Don't know the breed, I could be wrong but

I had a silkie ‘hen’ that started to crow. Roosters had mounted so I called it a she. To this day I have no way to know. I think it has both sexes.

Swedish flower hen males are also called Swedish flower hens.

Yeah, the pointed hackle feathers and saddle feathers would indicate male to me also. It's pretty, though!

That would be a cockeral...the long tail feathers, the pointed hackle feathers, the wattles so developed...our Swedish hen (female) does not have long tail feathers. Our Swedish hen (cockeral) has very prominently long feathers - and did so from about this age. As did his brothers...
Sorry, your Swedish Flower Hen in the photo is a male.
