The way to tell hen from cockerel is by the spurs on the legs. In the full grown male, the spurs have a long sharp claw on them. In some breeds the differences betwixt the sexes are hard to discern.

molly gave me a clear indication as to what sex she is by crowing this afternoon it upset me but she was quiet proud of her self ops i keep calling her a her when clearly she isn't looks like molly will be called Morris from now on any one want a cockerel
