rhode island red 16 weeks, he or she?

[HelenT]

My rhode island red, who is Very difficult to photo as he/she does not keep still, looks suspiciously rooster like to me.
He/she has just recovered from fowl pox, and as a result is very very skinny, which might add to the aperance of being all legs. However that comb is pretty big, and that tail is starting to look rather big. I can not tell about saddle feathers, and there are no signs of spur. What do you think?

the other is a potchefstroom koekoek and definatly a girl.

I think they are about 16 weeks, but have lost track.






are these saddle feathers? can't tell




that is a BIG comb/wattle







that is a long tail!
