Rhode Island Red - guy or gal?

[blackmountain]

She’s the same age as our other two RIRs but has a much more developed comb and is fairly aggressive...gets up in everyone’s face and the feathers on its neck stand up etc.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Really? How confident are you? How can you tell? How disappointing!!

Looks very similar to my RIR roo. The comb and wattles and the upright posture were the deciding factor for me. Unfortunately the photos are too dark for me to see the tail clearly but in one of the pics of the face I think I can see saddle feathers. With the given pics 95% sure rooster. How old is he/she?

I observe that at that age, the upright, pointy trail feathers also indicate roo... In addition to your description of more aggressive personality.

Ps also in one pic do I see a nub of a spur on the back shank?

I could tell by 4.5 weeks one of our RIR's was a rooster. Mine are 9 weeks. Yours looks at least a few weeks older. Definitely gonna say rooster.

I'm gonna say cockerel.

They're about 3 months old.
