Which chicken is older? Judging age of chickens.

[Lastknight]

I have two gold chickens one is about one year old, the other is about 4 years. I need to get rid of the older one but can't tell which one is twinkie (the old one) and which one is Chick Norris (the young one).
Do chickens have annular rings on their beaks or legs or something like that? Should i cut a leg off and look for the rings? There must be some distinct signs of aging. Seriously though, I need to know which ones older.

Also does anyone know what that red scrotum one the chickens faces is called?

Hi, welcome to BYC!

Post pics, there are lots of clues... like leg size, feather quality, egg size and quality, and even wrinkles on the face. Some of my older gals get white feathers in.

The red things on the face are called comb and waddles.
