Rhode Island Reds and White Plymouth Rock - 11 Weeks old

[eje99]

Good Morning All,

I have to identify the roosters in my flock. I'm hoping you all can help. They are 11 weeks old.

I have 2 RIR's - I'm guessing they are both cockerels:

RIR #1





And this is RIR #2:




And here's the White Plymouth Rock:



Thanks for you input!

All look like cockerels!

I agree, they all look like cockerels with that big of combs developing already, and #2 has some sickle feathers coming in.

Yep, those look like cockerels.

Thanks everyone - that's what I thought. Their personalities fit, too, as they have all been very friendly and not at all timid. Looks like they're going back to the farm!

My 11 week old RIR's aren't really showing much in the way of wattles yet and their combs are still quite small. Is that normal for a RIR cockerel? They were ordered from Tractor Supply and I believe Cackle Hatchery was the hatchery to fulfill it if I remember correctly.

Usually, the males are sporting a bigger, brighter comb by this age and occasionally you can see rooster feathers emerging already. Did you order males?

This is a zombie thread... A year old question someone tacked their question onto rather than starting a thread.

All cockerels. The Easter egger in the background in pictures 1 and 3 is also a cockerel, in case you didn't know yet.
