14 week old RIR a he or a she?

[Chicks&Chihuahuas]

This is Ruby, my RIR. Is it normal for her tail feathers to look like this, or is "She" a "He'"? Hatched March 8th.

It's a girl!!!

Yes, she's a girl. (She better be, I have one just like her only a month older.)

I checked the coloring on the breed list, and those "beetle green-black" tail feathers should be present for both the hen and the rooster.

Thanks! I haven't had a RIR since I was about 10, so it's hard to remember those feather details. Funny girl, but a bit bossy and vocal so I started to get concerned. I already have 2 Cockerels (who were supposed to be girls) and 2 of 3 ducks are drakes. Don't need any more "surprises"!

Girl! I think she will start laying soon!
