Please say I'm a girl! And 4 wk RIR pics...

[AmberLeigh]

I just had to post the pics of my 4 week old RIR baby. His comb is HUGE! So for those worrying, I suppose there's always hope lol.

Roo:

My other three look more like this. I'm holding up hope, but not holding my breath

2 look like possible girls- the other one I'm not so sure about. The possible girls are also way more feathered. The 3d looks in between the boy and the "girls." Any opinions on these?

Possible Pullet?

This is a chick I got out of the assorted Reds bin at TSC. She's 4 weeks as well. I absolutely love her! I pray she's a girl. (She does have way more feathers than any of my others.) Also, what exactly is she? Thanks for the help! And excuse the dirty doormat lol. It's mud season here, and it's been bad

Yes, the first one is def. a boy.

 

[AmberLeigh]

Right lol. I was just thinking that people who had ones with slightly red combs at an older age can hold on to some hope

He's def a boy! I was just wondering if the other RIR looks like a possible pullet?

 

[BigBadCryBaby]

The other two are pullets. First one, Roo.

 

[AmberLeigh]

Oh, and I forgot to mention his personality screams boy. He's a MONSTER!

Thanks! I was hoping that the lighter one was a pullet. They only had straight run, and I decided to take my chances. Most of my RIR's looked like boys to me until the one sprouted a comb in 2 days lol. I never knew they were that big so young! I had no doubts he was a boy, I just had to post pics for others to reference. I don't know if most RIR's are that obvious, but I'm sure glad he is

He always acted different from about 2 weeks old, too. Thanks again for your help. It's much appreciated.

That last one looks exactly like my Golden Comet pullets!

Thank You! (It's always nice to know what you have lol) I didn't think she would have all of her lighter colors- I thought she would be pretty much one color. She was one of my least favorites at first, but boy has she blossomed in personality and appearance. She is such a sweetheart! How are the personalities of yours? You all are so helpful! These boards have been an priceless reference for me. I am addicted!

Mine are very fearless! Whenever my dog comes around to give them a sniff they run up to her and peck her, while my Australorp roo runs the other way!

Definately a Golden Comet. I got mine from TSC as well and she looks very similar. My girl (in avatar) has the best personality of my bunch.
