the first one is a gold laced Wyandotte and the second looks like some kind of cockerel

The windstorm that came through Sunday night, I guess, really packed a powerful punch......blew my little portable chicken house right over on its side spilling the feed & water all over the place. My husband was able to right it and get the chickens all settles but they sure told him all about it.

I don't know what the second one is. At first glance it looks like a Rooster, but I don't think it is, the hackle feathers are rounded.

I know it's puzzling me - I can't decide tell how mature it is, if it's a roo or hen, is it young and small or just a bantam. Of course, I've only seen it in the dark - so hopefully things will become clearer one of these days They said it was a hen, but I have no idea if that determination was made by someone with poultry knowledge or someone just guessed lol!

If it was there for any length of time it probably would've crowed?

 

[feistychick]

They were there for a week, and no crowing - but I don't know how old it is either - so I think we'll be finding out over time

The second one does look like a young cockerel. Look at the curved tail feathers. None of my hens have those.

Well, I'm running my bator again for the NYD HAL. A little bummed that out of my stock of 60 eggs I only had 16 for hatching. Many were very porous, I was hoping to fill my bator. I will add new eggs collected between now and tomorrow.
