Well I thought until a few weeks back I had a RIR roo and one each leghorns. These pics are @ about 8 weeks. I'm quite certain they're all hens now though! Thoughts?

Foghorn-obviously a hen

What say you?

Yea it's kind of funny that at one point as their combs started growing the RIR and one of the Leghorns were questionable. It's rather obvious now, at this point I'm actually surprised by the small size of the combs on the leghorns which have decent sized combs. Just odd that the RIR has a larger comb than the leghorns at this point.

Roll Tide,

Your leghorns are definitely pullets - not so sure about the RIR though. It's hard to see in the pic, but it looks like it has started growing its wattles - I think there is a good chance it is a roo, which would explain the larger comb. Can you take another picture of the RIR and show a side view of its head?
