She or He

Hey Chicken family

I saved three darlings from the chopping block yesterday but I’m unsure if one is a rooster. As far as I know, they aren’t young (but who knows!!) and they’re isa browns (also, can’t confirm)
This muffin seems to have much longer tail feathers than the others. Also has a spur on one leg and a huge comb! I’m convinced he’s a boy but also very confused as he doesn’t crow

Thank you so much in advance for any help!

That's a hen. You can't always rely on the comb and/or the tail. The feathers are rounded, which indicates a female. If it was a male the feathers would be straight down.

Agreed. The saddle feathers (in front of the tail) are the primary giveaway. Male saddle feathers are longer and pointier.

If it's an Isa brown its female, males are white. They are a sex link.

Oh gosh so speedy! Your eyes are amazing to identify these things! Thank you so much for your help

Aaaah yes I see! Thank you! I’m assuming they’re not babies either so these feathers would definitely be pronounced and present by now
