By a year old you should be seeing a pretty obvious difference in height between the boys and the girls. I have 4 whites in a pen, 2 hatched last May & 2 hatched last June. 1 of the younger ones is actually a couple of inches taller at the shoulder than 1 of the older ones. So I have 2 that are obviously taller than the other 2 this is telling me I have 1 male and 1 female from the May hatch, and 1 male and 1 female from the June hatch. So compare the white one's size/height to a known male and a known female. If you follow that?? Anyway, females will fan and display and strut, but I've never seen 1 of my girls do the scream and charge, so I'm guessing your Second in command is a boy.

Boy is beautiful! I love to see them strut, but every time I get a camera they suddenly find dirt more interesting

Ok I am moving in. Lol. This looks like heaven to have all those beauties running around. I only have eight but live on around 200 acres and I want a lot but it is slow going so far
