Possible RIR roo?

[AlaskGirl]

A friend gave me a few birds to replenish after my loss this fall. I thought "she" was recovering from a molt but I think she's a he. Do you?

I can't see the pictures too well, but i think i might see saddle feathers in the second picture.

How old is "she"?

Isn't that funny?? I think so. I believe those are saddle feathers too, they're coming in unlike the siblings' backsides that came with this bird. I don't know how old but if it's just now reaching this stage, it must be 5-6 months old due to our seasonal purchases in Alaska.

Looks like a roo to me also. I too see saddle feathers in the #2 pic. As for their age. If they are in a molt they are probably 18 months old or older. Unless they went into an early molt due to severe stress.

I agree, roo.

I'm so pleased! Thank you! And he hasn't begun crowing so I think it's a new boy...thanks again! It's such a cool surprise!
