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
