4.5 week old Rhode Island Reds

[EllyMac]

i have these 2 RIRs that I got from Meyer Hatchery that are supposed to be female. The comb is slightly pinker on the darker one and her tail feathers have me concerned. I’d love y’alls opinions!

I remember when my girls were that little omg They were so adorable

Both are pullets

It’s the tail feathers that are throwing me off

I want to jump in here and say I do have a Hen with ruffly tail feathers exactly like that. If you were sold Hens I would guess they're probably hens but ------------------------------------------if I didn't know I would say the one of the left is the rooster lol!! I'm not trying to put doubt in your head I'm just saying if one was a rooster my guess is the left lol

My pullets has tails like that too but they turned out to be pullets anyway.

They're actually still a little too young to tell their sex. Can you post more pictures in a few weeks?
