Boy or Girl?

I have a 7 week old RIR that is starting to look more like a roo to me. It's funny because I call her "Momma Hen". First to be picked up and enjoys leading the pack. She/he is by far my favorite out of the five. I guess that I will keep this one regardless of the outcome.

I forgot to add a pic of one of the pullets for comparison.

Yes it is possible you have one of each.

You can almost guarantee when someone says "this is my favorite bird, it's the friendliest" it's gonna be a little roo!

And I do believe that is the case.

Definitely a cockerel!

Keep snuggling on him and hopefully you will have a nice friendly roo on your hands! Welcome to BYC!

Here's my 4 week old RIR. I thought she was a he, but she lays very good eggs! She had wattles then too.
