Help...

I have two 6 week old Rhode Island Reds. Can someone help me and tell me if these are both hands or is one of them a rooster.

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out how to post both of them. I'm new to this.

Maybe it will work this way. This would be the other picture if both don't come through

My first flock of 20years ago was 6 RIR's! They were so beautiful!! I feel like those are pullets but hopefully you'll get alot more responses. ENJOY. Glad you joined this place.

I'm just trying to find out if one of my Rhodes Is a rooster.. I am new to this and I have no clue how to tell.

I feel like they are both probably pullets too. Their combs aren't excessively bright and are about the same size. I also don't see any hackle or saddle feathers.

6 weeks is about the earliest I can see signs in non-autosexing breeds. In about 3 more weeks it will be more clear.

I haven't been around Rhode Island reds since I was a little girl though and my grandmother had them. But I do feel like these are both pullets.

I've never been 100% certain at 6 weeks but very close to 6 weeks. Look for redness in wattles and comb, large legs, hackle feathers, wing feathers not staggered. None of the feather guessing is great and you'll certainly know in time. But again, they look like pullets (girls,) to me.

Exactly this.
