Rhode Island Red Cockerel?

[nkcsweetie]

We got a couple RIR pullets but I'm thinking Sandy is starting to look like a Roo? Does anyone know for sure?

To me nothing 'screams' cockerel at this point.

We arent sure either. The comb is small and pink like the others, but dont know why her tail feathers are shooting out like that more than the others.

Pullet.

don't worry about a few funky feathers at this point, it's just a normal variation. If you saw a large red comb, that would be a cockerel.
