Hi, I have 2 21 week old chickens that I’m not sure if they are hens or roosters. The light brown one I think is a hen. she’s been sitting in a nesting box a lot latelyThe dark brown I’m wondering if it is a slow growing rooster. It has some hackle feathers on its neck, in the last week or two it’s tail feathers have started getting longer especially two or three of the feathers, he’s very very skittish the last week or two as well. When I go to pick him up, he jumped straight up in the air and flies above my head to get away from me. Any ideas?
