Can't figure out if these 2 are hens
Our take
Are you scratching your head over whether your feathered friends are hens or roosters? You're not alone! In this cluck-tastic dilemma, we have two chicks—one that struts around like a little tyrant and another that's more of a gentle wallflower, constantly getting picked on. At just 5 to 6 weeks old, determining their true identities can be a bit of a guessing game, especially when worries about potential roosters come into play. While your mom suspects the smaller one might be a roo, your intuition leans toward the dominant chick. Trusting the source you got them from is essential, but let's dive into the details together. Check out the additional pics in the comments to help crack this feathered mystery!
