    roosters

    I have 5 Rhode Island reds, about 4 months old. I ordered 5 pullets. But one is very large, that chicken has no spurs or signs of any but it is a big chicken with big feet!! It is going to be very big. I am wondering if that chicken is really a rooster? When do roosters begin to grow spurs?
