Is she a pullet?

[SemiSweet2391]

This is my RIR who is 3 months old! I’ve posted about her before, but there was some doubt about if she was a pullet.

I hope she is old enough to say one way or another! What do you think? Pullet or cockerel?

TIA!

@Muser idk if you remember but you guessed cockerel for Liandrin, my bird named after a man-hating book character what do you think now?

100% Pullet. Rhode Island Reds are one of those breeds where the hens have larger combs and wattles compared to many other breeds. When they are young a RIR pullets combs and wattles will also be larger than other pullets. Her comb is still on the pale side and if she were a cockerel her comb and wattles would be double their size now along with being bright tomato red.

Yay! Looking like a Pullet! Let's hope so, so she can continue to dislike men hahaha

Haha yes! I had a backup name for her, a guy from the book who hates the man-hating group she’s in (Logain). Glad I don’t need to rename her though

Can I see a picture of her back, I think she's a pullet, but any male feathering would start to show now. Can we take a look?

I agree with pullet.
