RHODE ISLAND REDS 15 weeks old

[Calicoes]

I think i unfortunately got all roosters from the straight run bin. Can anyone confirm if my Rhode Island reds are roosters or is 15 weeks old still too young to tell?

They're all pullets. Get a lottery ticket . . .that's some seriously good luck. Their combs and wattles are getting darker because they are close to laying age.

The RIR cockerel in the background was only 12 weeks old in that picture.

The black chicken in the picture is a cockerel just to be clear. The post was about the RIR so my initial comment was about them specifically.

He is a rooster. I have him and one other that I know are roosters and I want to keep them. My husband loves him. xD

I love my boys, even though they don't like being handled. They defiantly keep things interesting, lol.

15 weeks is plenty old enough to tell that all 4 of the chickens pictured are female. At that age males will have a bright RED comb and shiny, skinny pointed saddle feathers. Congratulations!

Thank you for taking a look. Appreciate you both!
