I have a flock of 46 birds. While Pearl Leghorns, Rhode Island Reds, Red Stars, and Jersey Black Giants. All except the Jersey Blacks are 2 months old. So far i can tell which chickens are roosters. Except for the Rhode Island Reds. How do you tell if a RIR is a rooster or not. There 2 months old.
 
At that young I would say look for the red combs and possibly the ones less developed (such as no tail feathers) usually that's a good sign of a roo.
 
Feathers Start Turning Differnt Color At The Tail. Plus There Combs Will Be Larger As Well. I Have 7 R.i.r Roosters, 52 R.i.r Hens, 15 Californa Whites And 3 Fancys. Watch Them They Also Walk Differntly ( Proundly).
