A hen's cloaca is a single, multi-purpose opening located at the rear of the bird, generally appearing as a small, rounded, and slightly raised area. It is surrounded by feathers and may appear moist due to its function in excreting waste and laying eggs. The cloaca serves as the passageway for feces, urine, and reproductive products, and its appearance can vary slightly depending on the hen's reproductive status. Overall, it is not particularly prominent and is usually not visible unless the feathers are parted.

Why does your hen look like a rooster?

Personally, after raising chickens of all types for 35 years, my hens look like hens. However, some of my roosters also look like hens. Not only can there be delayed feathering in a rooster, but genetically there is a condition called "hen feathered rooster". In delayed feathering, the rooster pattern will occur eventually. In the genetic condition, you know you've got a "hen feathered rooster" when he starts mounting the hens and exposes the penis during a "cloacal kiss".
