This is my 20week old RIR cockerel: http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b139/marvinranch/Chickens/roosters002.jpg This is how he looked at a mere 7 weeks old: http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b139/marvinranch/Chickens/chicks6weeks002.jpg Well...looking at her again, she does look like a girl. I don't see hackle feathers. The comb looked kind of big and red, but I guess RIRs are a little quicker to mature than some chickens.
