One really loud, really bossy RIR, is it actually a Roo?

It's a hen as she doesn't have the saddle feathers or long tail. I used to have some RIR that were the same, I just find that that breed is a little more bossy.

Looks exactly like our RLR hens. Just to let you know, every one of our adult RLR hens is a bossy little brat, so keep an eye on the younger one!

Not to be insensitive but if the younger one turns out like that, with the current power struggle between our Black Star who was used to being in charge and this RIR, the younger one will be a Sunday roast chicken instead of a laying hen!! Lol

Funny Story Update: I don’t know if any of the commenters are still following this thread or how that works in a forum like this lol but funny story here... she is definitely a hen and she did start laying a few days after I posted this, we just didn’t know it because...

the sneaky little clucker was escaping to a spot just outside the fence, behind a plant, where she had kindly left us exactly one dozen eggs to find!! Lol Her annoyingly loud sqwauking thing is what finally gave her away back there, you basically can’t see her at all from the house unless you are directly looking for her and you’d still have to follow that ridiculous sound to find her and her hidden stash!! Lol Silly bird!! We have named her “The Red Queen”
