New Hampshire red - pullet or roo?

[melalthia]

Hi y'all

A few weeks ago I asked about a brown leghorn I have and y'all said "roo." Thanks for that! You were right.. I bow down to the gurus of BYC!!!!

Here's another one for you. It's an 9 or 10 week old New Hampshire Red and I'm wondering if it's a girl or a boy. It's a cheeky one whatever it is, and the most aggressive of all the flock. No crowing yet.

Here's a full picture of the cheeky one on the ground.

Here's a side view.

It's tail...

And it's head.

Here's a photo for comparison. These NHRs are the same age.. notice he color and size of their combs.

Thanks in advance!!!

Rooster.

 

[what was i thinking]

congrats it a boy!

 

[Pullet Pimp]

Yep Roo! But I am guessing that you suspected that already with the comparison of the others comb and the close up of the saddle feathers.

Your suspicions are confirmed

yeah, i've been suspecting it for weeks. Mainly because of his ATTITUDE. He 's been 'ruling the roost' as they say.

Thanks everybody!
