15 week old Rhode Island Red

[Eilsel]

Looking pretty cocky to me... what do the eggsperts say? Slightly smaller bodied than my other RIR, not aggressive at all, very talkative.

Pullet, should start laying any time.

100% cockerel.

Gray Farms is right on the money. She's an early maturing pullet = eggs coming soon.

Both are pullets!

The person who said 100% cockerel... needs more practice.

See the major difference here...

By 15 weeks, a boy would sporting some pointy saddle feathers similar to this.

lol, looked quickly. You have to admit those hackle feathers look long a stringy.

I'm sure I have before as well.

Yes the hackle feathers do look a little long. However, saddle feathers don't lie. Though some will come in later than others. I'm not always good, but guess the breed gender game is one of my faves!
