I'm an RIR but am I a girl or boy?

[emvickrey]

I haven't really paid much attention apparently because this one has a red comb and waddles where the others don't. It caught my eye because I was closing up the coop for the night and this one was right at the door at eye level giving me the stink eye. I noticed the color of it's comb. Please le it be a girl but my gut says a boy. I just want verification because I just don't want to believe I ended up with a cockerel. I just want eggs to eat, I don't need fertile ones.

how old? a full body shot would be really helpful too. its hard to tell if we cant see the body shape and feathering.

I want to say pullet

BUT ask Bekah askd how old ? and we could know forsure if we could see more of the body feathers.

Looks female, but I agree, a full body shot would be helpful.

It's a hen that will lay for you soon!

The body and feathering is the same as the rest. When I noticed the red comb the next think I looked at was the feathering and body. Everything is the same except for the comb. But i'll go out right now and try to get a pic. If they would just stand still and pose it would be great. All I have for a camera is my cell. But the pullet posts gives me hope. lol
