Gender?

I got 3 while leghorns from tractor supply and was told they were pullets. They are now about 4 or 4.5 months old. They haven’t laid yet but this one is looking and acting like a rooster. What do you guys think?

Hi there! When you say acting can you be more specific?

 

[guardianoftheflock]

Sometimes they won't lay till they are 5-6 months.

She seems to act more in charge of the other 2, and she’s louder. Not crowing just louder. We have 3 isa browns that are 3 weeks older which are at the top of the pecking order but out of her 3 she acts more in charge. I just got my first rooster yesterday so I’m not really sure how they act.

I have a rhode island red that is VERY- "I'M KING"ish. Ifd they told you that she was a pullet then they probably were right. Is she larger than the others?

Does she have spurs?

Definitely a hen! She might just be a late layer, and also assertive

She’s bigger, but not by much. I have a picture from. A few days ago of all 3 of them.

No.

I don't know how much you are familiar with cows but there is always a lead cow(this gos for horses too), I can imagine and almost guarantee that she is the lead hen. My rhode island red is also VERY loud. I thought that she was a rooster but it turns out that she isn't. Hope this helps!
