What gender are my naked necks.

[bek007]

First time I've ever had naked necks.
Don't no much about them and just want to know are they hens or roos.
I got told the hens look like roos with n asked necks
Can someone help me out please

Hi there, hope you are enjoying BYC!

The hens do NOT look like roos in NN.. whoever told you that is either mistaken or lying.

They are cool birds! But I agree with others that you've got boys on your hands.

Once they reach a certain age... the saddle pic posted by frazzemrat1 is the most accurate way to tell gender in *most* breeds.

You can actually see the saddle feathers on the cuckoo NN already

And the other if you zoom in on the pic.

I start to see them around 12 weeks on most my boys. But some are older before they develop.

Yeah, for sure
