With normal colours yeah and it's the bit below the eye,also the little hair feathers on top of the bill they are black or dark grey in cocks and brown on hens.The only bit that looks like a hen to me is the back of the head where the black is broken rather than solid black,but Bangers know his stuff better than i so i'm watching and learning mate.... 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm still sending off for DNA just to be on safe side mate. But I'm sure them two in top pics are hen I've kept back an the one at the bottom is the cock bird. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
