R-I-R's Girls or boys?

[Chris09]

I would like to say you have some nice birds there.. Now I think you have production reds and not Rhode Island Reds.. I think that the bird in the first picture is a young rooster if you look back where the back meets the tail at the Lower Saddle feather there looking long a lot like a rooster.. The other three I would are hens..

thanks Chris for your response, I agree that they are productions Reds(I have learned thru BYC on the difference). I picked these four when about 3 weeks old out of a group of over 200 birds at the feed mill. They got 250 birds by mistake, the order was for 25. They were selling them cheap. I picked out what I thought were girls, but noticed one had little tail feathers and not feathered out as much so I did suspect one may be a boy. But none have developed much red in the combs so I thought maybe I got lucky.

I would say pullet. Here is a picture of Rooster Roy at 11 weeks old.

Thanks for the pic of your 11week old, I can see a big difference when compared to mine.
