She looks like my reds and I have personally seen eggs drop out of their butts. Don't worry!

Here's one of my girls:

Any better and closer pics would help a lot, lol

Thats a girl. At that age, you'd have very long tail feathers going on already. And crowing. Here is a pic of a cockerel from feathersite.

\Here is a full grown rooster from Giffs farms

And a pair from off a BING search.

I'm asking for a close up, cause she looks a little light colored for RIR

To be honest none of the pictures posted in this thread were Rhode Island Reds.

There all Production Reds except the giffs farm bird which looks like a hatchery quality welsummer or a cross.

That's nice, but what I'm saying is npeasley6's birds are not RIR and a closer pic would help

OPs bird is a hen, and it looks like she should be laying--that's a nice red comb.
