Hen? or Roo?...

[beachchick]

I have 6 - 18 wks hens. 3 RIR and 3 Black Sex Link. The girls have been laying for two weeks now. The past week we have gotten 5 eggs daily. We have long suspected one of the RIR to be a rooster. (No real reason - just a hunch). She is chased away from the group by the others and doesn't squat when pet. She sings a beautiful "trill" and doesn't seem to "cackle" like the others. I'm hoping she is just a late bloomer

What are your opinions?

Pictures are a BIG help.
I would think maybe a roo but she could just be a bit behind the curve.
I sugest pictures to be accurate.

Do you have a picture?

I looks like a hen to me. One that is already laying or just about to.

Hooray!! Thanks for you're input. We'll be waiting for that 6th egg!

It looks henny...but it looks kinda light colored to be a RIR...looks like some whitish in the neck and tail? More like a red sexlink....

You know, I agree, she looks more like a red sex link. RIR don't have any white.
