That is what I was thinking too. My girls are 4 months and still don't have that much wattle or comb, and none are that red yet either.
At least you have a pair.

I'd say Roo. My 4 SLW are just now starting to get red and their 21 weeks old!!

My roolet (who knows, rooster/pullet) looks like that too. I've thought she/he was a roo from the day I took her/him out of the box at two days old. It was just the way he/she stood, all regal and "I'm the top dog" kinda stance.

However, if he/she is a roo, why does he/she stand down to my obvious SHE Orpington? Actually, he/she stands down to a couple of the bantams too! What does it mean when they come up to each other and fluff their capes and then both step away? Wouldn't a roo show his stuff and tell the hens what's up?

on the right Roo most definatly, on the left pullet most definatly.

Roo.

My BLRW did not have anywhere near that much red at nine weeks.

So I hate it when these threads drop off the face of the earth without the "end of the story" -- so was it a HEN?

This is what my 9 week old looks like. she/he will be 10 weeks tomorrow. What do you think? A Rooster or a Hen?? I am thinking rooster and my husband is thinking a Hen.... any ideas?
