I'm not even sure where that ball came from. It was probably hiding in the overgrown grass when we bought this place last year.

sometimes it also helps to look at the thickness of the legs. if the legs look stocky and thick you probably have a roo. if they seem slender probably a hen (pullet). good luck and i hope you really do have a more hens than you think!

Sorry 
I'm w/ the group that just see one hen, the same one that has been pointed out already. I would move that poor girl out before those boys know they are boys though.

There is a noticeable difference in tenderness from a 2 mo rooster to a 4 mo rooster, just so you know. If you harvest them young, they are almost like a cornish hen. Over one year old and you'll want to marinade and tenderize them bc they really get tough.
