4 month RIR- rooster or puller?

[James4455]

Hey guys- first time posting- this is my RIR, aptly named “red” by my 6&7 year olds- she or he?

I did some research, but having trouble determining respective “roundness” of feathers and such- any help appreciated

I meant “pullet”

My bet is on pullet. I see no evidence of saddle feathers and the tail feathers seem uniformly spaced with nice round edges. I see no spear shaped feathers in the tail. Bright comb and waddles leads me to believe that sexual maturity is right around the corner.

Thanks all! First time chicken owner and the help is much appreciated- I had the same thoughts about the feathers, and I know comb shape/size isn’t a reliable indicator, but I have close neighbors and a rooster would have to go! I needed some expert advice to set my mind at ease

Welcome to BYC - she's a pullet and rapidly approaching point of lay.
