How To Tell A Hen From A Rooster AND Introducing Young Chickens Into The Adult Flock

Today as we introduce our young chickens to the adult flock I will show you the difference between a hen and a rooster. It can be very difficult sometimes to tell the difference between your young hens from your young roosters. Some breeds both sexes have waddles, some breeds have no waddles. Today I will give you some of the main tips for distinguishing the difference between a rooster and a hen. I know these chickens are a lot older but I find I am never 100% sure until they start to develop their saddle feathers. I hope you enjoy our video and thank you for watching!
