**A LONG SHOT** Young Rhode Island Red: hen or rooster??

[chris_m90731]

I know this is a long shot, but you people have impressed me thus far.

I've got a new addition to the family; a rhode island red, and we REALLLLLLY hope she's a "she" and not a "he."
Around two months old...
Any thoughts?
Guesses?
Shots in the dark?
Hypothesis?

that's NO RIR for sure!!!

Looks like an EE to me, and a pullet

That is a Partridge Cochin Pullet.

I have one.

The comb will develop eventually.

Not a RIR? Okay...I buy that. Fuzzy feet = cochin.
But I don't think it's a EE.
I have an EE and they usually have fuzzy cheeks and such.
But what in God's name is Partridge Cochin Pullet.

Here is what she'll look like.

Mine only gives me 2-3 eggs a week, brown and not too large... but she is large. wierd I know.

I'm not one of the experts but I just raised RIR pullets that are now laying and they did not look a thing like your bird.

I would have guessed "she."

Thanks BYCers...guess I've got a Partridge Cochin Pullet.
So much for buying chicks from the Mexican guy @ the gas station...lol
