Do we have a Hen or a Rooster?

[haldini]

This is my first time posting here! Our chickens are about 9 weeks old, and we are wondering specifically about this one. We don't know her breed but we think maybe New Hampshire Red or Rainbow? And we really hope she is a hen. Please let me know if you need more pictures!

Looks like a pullet!

OH THANK GOODNESS! my kid is specifically attached to this one, and we aren't allowed roosters in town. PHEW!

Rainbow. Pullet

A rainbow! How cool. My kid will be thrilled. This is the best. I thought I was buying three "Red Brahmas" from the store, but she must have accidentally been mixed in. Which is kind of neat I think!

Definitely neat! Unless, of course, you really wanted only a certain breed, or you ended up with a cockerel.

I know there's buff brahmas, but not red Brahma

Ah, I was remembering it wrong -- you are right, it was "Buff Brahma"

Haha yeah I'd be pissed if I only wanted that breed!
