Rhode Island Red help

Yeah that's what I'm saying. The difference between comb and wattles on that bird at 11 weeks is obvious.

To me, OPs bird looks like a pullet with a leghorn tail lol but I'm sure @The Moonshiner would rip me a new one for saying that! Lol

He would of never known if you hadn't of tagged him.
Almost like you were asking for it. Strange

I must be a glutton for punishment

Then I would guess pullet.

The hackles make me think otherwise.

The extra bit of color in there?

I guess we won’t know until it crows or lays an egg.

Hi all! First time with this breed so I have nothing to compare to. Of course…purchased as a female but we all know how accurate that is. Lol S/he is about 10 weeks old. Slightly larger than the other chicks of the same age but again, it’s the only RIR so I dunno. No crowing, no typical little roo behavior that I’ve noticed but those dark, longer tail feathers are making me nervous.

I have 9 RIR that I raised from day old chicks from mail order. She looks pretty much like mine did at that age so she appears to me to be a pullet. Where did you get her from? Not all RIR are bred equally or true-to-breed unless you're buying from heritage strain breeder that is committed to keeping the breeding pure. They can have other breeds in their genetics sometimes. I'd guess that's what is causing the tail. Out of my 9 there is a bit of a variety in color and shape and feathers, I had one I had a concern of being a roo too but she wasn't. Only time will tell but from comparing her to mine at this age I'd think that's a pullet with a pretty tail.

This gives me hope!! Lol thank you so much

This one is tricky, I’m no expert but I’m going to guess pullet. One of my RIRs has a high tail.. I don’t have a great pic but you can kind of see it in this one (the one on the left).
