telling roos from hens

[wefroggy]

Thanks for the input. I thought the Egyptian might be a roo, he is my daughters and she is quite excited to have a hen and roo. Sorry, she says 'no swapping mom!'
I got both the RIR and Delawares as straight run, Watching them it seems like the majority of my RI's are hens and the Delawares might be Roos. We will be culling most of the roos, but not the specialties, my other daughter ended up with a White crested polish roo.

lol that is understandable, and you tell your daughters to enjoy! Yes I too would say that one RIR MIGHTTTT be a roo and I would say it does look probable that your delawares are both roos...maybe someone more seasoned can offer some input?

Well as if to cement the obvious, our Egyptian started crowing this morning. We are very excited.
