What are we?

[plester01]

These are my DH babies that we saved from a sick hen. What are they? DH and I think they are both Roosters.

for roo hen distinguishing check for spurs

 

[plester01]

Yea I know, they do not have any spurs yet they are only about 4 months old. The reason I even question wheather on not that they might be roos is I have never seen a hen with tose colors.

 

[plester01]

So, does anyone else agree that these are (game) roosters?

 

[king2]

Are they standard or bantams

 

[plester01]

Standard, mom and dad were grey hatch

I would also say check for spurs. My rooster had tiny spur nubs by the time he was 6wks old.

 

[plester01]

DH says no nubs as of yet and they are about 4 months old. I have just never seen game hens this color before.

Those are game roosters, if their parents were grey hatch. Game hens are much more subdued in color and do not have pronouced combs at that age.
