developing rooish traits *UPDATE WITH PICS*

[Chickenrandomness]

my 4 1/2 week old RIR is developing rooish traits

"Her" Tail feathers are kind of pointy like a roo and she now trys to peck me if i have my hand near her; my deceased Sumatra roo did that.

however, what confuses me is that i did research last week and i saw a RIR cockerel at 4 weeks old and its comb was much bigger thanmy RIR.

i'll post some pics if required

Pictures will help!

I have noticed that sometimes my pullets will go through a more aggressive phase and then calm down. This may be what is happening here.

i think the hackles are growing out a bit too

sorry the pics aren't too good, she would not stay still much and when she did, it wasn't at a very good angle

I found out that RIR chicks have a dark strip down their backs and their head.
