Fro,the physical characteristics,vocalizations,and body language should clue you in on weather its a hen or not!The pic I posted shows a hen that couldn' t wiegh no more than 10 to 12 lbs.She sports a full fan,no or very tiny snood, tiny head,no beard,and had no drum to her strutting as she was as close as 5 yards from me!She hen yelped almost all the way in,until i clucked at her when she was only about 10 yards away behind me and thats when she began to strut!!I' ve seen this before,mostly in amongst flocks of birds especially when fighting or playing!As Denny shows in his awesome photographs theres no question that the hen or hens in those pics are motivated in the direction of a display of dominance!Hope it helps Bob!!
