Please dont be a rooster!

[samandramey]

So, my RIR has me real worried. She is about 5-6 months old. She just recently started making a lot of noise at sunrise, which i hear is normal when they're gettin ready to lay. But the big worry is her "handsome" looks. She stands very tall and lean... and the tail is black with green irredescense. Please dont be a rooster... i just had to get rid of my white leghorn for turning into a rooster. this would make it 2 for 2 of my first chickens ever someone take a look give me your opinion...

I'm no expert but that second pic looks a lot more roosterish to me...but I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

The saddle feathers in that second picture scream rooster

That's a rooster, but RIR? Appears to have a pea comb and some LONG skinny legs.

Sorry he's a roo, but he's not an RIR.

Very much a rooster.

Hey! Roosters need love too!

He's a roo. I think he's an RIR cross (game maybe?). RIR's develop tail feathers very slowly.. makes it hard to tell until they're older unfortunately.
