Rhode island red pullet or cockerel?

Bought as a pullet at TSC she’s about 9 weeks (maybe older) Kinda looking like a cockerel to me but i’m hoping not.

At this age, I say pullet.

You might have to wait a bit longer. I see wattles coming in which look quite red (pick 3) but I’m leaning towards pullet for now.

With my 2 years experience (not much experience I know) with Rhode Island Reds and Production Reds, I’m leaning pullet even at 9 weeks... the lack of red in the comb so far being the main reason for this thought, but again only limited interaction with RRs especially at that age

She's exactly what you bought her as.

A pullet.

Around 8-10 weeks they start showing (so right about now) but by 12-13 weeks you’d be able to see them for sure... so far it doesn’t look like roo feathers though so
