yes, definitely a hen! :D

I wouldn't be concerned yet. Wattles (not waddles) don't look horribly big right now. I *think* wyandottes tend to mature early. My first birds were SLW so I do know the struggles.

Bruce is a good name!

That is an awful red comb for being 8 weeks old. They are however a bit difficult to tell, especially at such a young age. Try in a couple weeks!

If I am not mistaken, it's a cookoo maran. (Pink legs) Depending on age, looks like a cockerel to me. He looks fairly young, as in maybe 3 months tops. (10-12 weeks if that.)

Yeah, that's Norman for sure! Sorry.. definitely a rooster.

You'll get some chocolate colored eggs from that one! Yay!

Yeah, no eggs from them. What a disappointment after raising them since April. :( You're set for meat though... Sorry.

HE is gorgous!! To the OP, closer pictures might help. Good luck!

I'm by no means an expert, I have never ordered from IDEAL, but looks like a black australorp cockerel to my very untrained eye. Like I said, just a guess.

White chickens are very hard to photograph to be able to see 'rooster' type feathers. I'm guessing it is a he since he is mounting the girls. I have ten hens and they have been laying for exactly a year now and I've NEVER gotten 10 eggs on any day. 3 eggs a day is awesome! Is he not crowing?

That is definitely a rooster. Could he be a MIX of the breeds you mentioned? Looks like Lohmanns might be part of the mix.

At six months old, it is a hen. RIR tend to be bossy/mean I've heard.

Ditto!

Good luck with the move!!! I know of someone else who made that exact same move a year ago!! I love Montana and would LOVE LOVE LOVE to live in Kalispell or nearby!
