Is this 11 week old RIR a hen or a roo? He/she came from a pullet group but I am wondering if "he" slipped through the pullet cracks. Thank you for your help!

I think it’s a hen but could it be older than ten weeks. It has very red combs and waddles. But I am not familiar with what age they become ready to lay. I think they mature earlier than my three breeds so that maybe why I think that but looking at her legs etc she seems as if she is older.

Thank you for your response! I bought them July 3rd and they said they were 2 days old. They were very little. I am happy to hear you think hen. We live in city limits with no roos allowed. I do wonder about how red the comb is. Thank you!

The comb would be much larger and redder... I really don’t think the comb is that red.
