I have to say that they look like pullets to me as well. My girl had the same coloring on her waddles and comb at that age and everyone thought roo but low and behold she is my best layer. Good luck!

I just was wondering how those RIR leghorn crosses turned out. I have one that I was hoping was a hen. She looks a lot like yours now at 18 weeks. Thanks for your update.
