How old are they? I'm leaning toward roo, roo, hen, but age could sway that.

Well, the kittens aren't so cute anymore and the easter egger cockerels are in the freezer. Plus, I think offering them as "prizes" scared folks off! So, I'm still posting quotes, if you know it let me know. I'm very enamored of this new one, it may hang around for a while!

Going back home. No internet at the house, so I won't be online as much. Sorry for any RP inconveniences.

Pullet.  Pullet.  Pullet.  Pullet.     I'm guessing this persons chickens are laying by now?  to the poster of these pics, could you please let us know how many of them are laying? (or how many are crowing?)  Question: Why is it everyone seems to think any pullet with a pink comb is a Roo?  I am knew to chickens and this site, but I'm baffled at the incorrect guessing I've seen(tho I've only been researching RIR's).  RIR's by 4-5 months old - i think you'll know if you have a rooster.   I have 4-5 WEEK old rir chicks and most of them are obvious at this age.  I know it's tough for the people that only have pullets... they don't see roo's at the same age, so the comparison is more difficult.  And I know people guessing gender are just trying to help, but Sorry.. a lot of really bad guessing on some of these forums. 

 

Here is a pic of a 4 month of a RIR rooster. 

 

   <b>Kristina Allen</b><br /><br />Kristina Allen, of Rochester, a 4-H member, holds her 4-month-old Rhode Island red rooster, Puck, in a barn Monday afternnon at the Olmsted County Fair. Among Allen's 4H awards at the fair this year, she won a trophy for showmanship. Tracy McCray stands in the background after interviewing Allen for a P-B video.</br><span style=color:494e7f;>Edie Grossfield/Post-Bulletin</span>
