11 Week Old Rhode Island Reds - cockerels or pullets?

x2 to the comments here (1 girl on the left in the pic of the four together, all boys in the second set of images).

Maybe they're just advanced for their age, but they might be a little older than 11 weeks, based on those saddle feathers. My pullet just hit 12 weeks and she's not that developed in terms of feathering.

Sorry they're not what you hoped (and were told!)

Thanks! They can't be much older than 11 weeks. They were teeny when we got them.

1 pullet. I have 2 rir roosters. This is a pic of 1 at 12 weeks so yours will be pretty much definite in a week or 2.

Ah, then they're just precocious! Very pretty birds.

I agree with 1 pullet. Thet are bigger than my 17 week old pullets who are about to lay.
