I’m new!

Hey there everyone! We have recently started backyard chicken farming and officially got our first egg yesterday! I’m so proud of our girls, we got them as babies. It’s been so fun to raise them and teach our kids such important skills. They have helped every step along the way from construction of the coop and run all the way to chicken care. Thanks for having me!

I have two leghorns and we are having a terrible time deciding if they are made or female. Can anyone help us out and tell us why you think what you think? I have attached photos. I have also included pictures of our hen den because I am so proud of it!

Hello and Welcome to BYC! Glad that you joined our community.
from the pictures they look like hens to me. A closer photo might help a lot in determining that more accurately.

Hello, and welcome to BYC. Your leghorns are pullets and either laying or about to. At this age they would have male specific feathering and would be crowing.
