HELP!! is this a cockerel or a pullett?

[quenston]

I am gonna say pullet I have some pullets that here combs look like roos the best luck I have found sexing RIR is more on the body shape and size than combs and waddles. just my .02 worth

Thats a really tough call. I'm gonna guess pullets though.

I'm going to trust the sexing and say pullet. RIR's pullets have bigger combs anyway from what I've seen.

BUT.... IF they were a rooster, they would have a MUCH BIGGER comb than that....

 

[Crickett]

Do they have big feet as well?

We could tell easier...a lot easier ...if the pics were inside the fencing and clearer pics of the feathering on the neck and the lower back, plus legs would help. LOL

pullets mine look just like that and they are 10 weeks old

I'm gonna say pullets - wait for it ... - ... "pullets"! Sha-zam!

they are young roos. I have raised many and I mean many rhode island reds and those are roos. if they were pullets their combs would not be so red and they would not have as big wattles not yet anyway. My grown hens barely have wattles and their combs are about the size of these and them full grown. they dont look so great they were starting to moult!! see her neck minus the feathers

I may have to change my mind. These are pictures of our Chicken Guy (pullet) at about the same age (8 weeks) Comb still looks pink and almost no wattles. But everyone is different. So keep an eye out for that egg!
