RIR 8 weeks

[LaurenRitz]

I got 10 RIRs to raise for my sister. I was expecting several roosters, even though they were supposedly sexed, which is why I got 10. She wanted 8.

They are currently 8 weeks old and I think I have identified 1 cockerell. I think there may be 1 more.

I have not been a chicken mommy so they don't take well to being handled.

First is the one I am pretty sure is a cockerell. Then one I am pretty sure is a pullet. The others I haven't been able to get individual pictures of.

First photo is likely a cockerel- second photo might accidentally have a filter on it- but looks like a pullet (a clearer view of the comb can help us be super confident). And the last photo looks like lots of pullets, but hard to say 100% because the combs are a little hard to see.

Comb of the possible pullet.

That's a pullet

All are pullets

These are the two I am fairly certain are cockerells. The first two pictures are the same bird. The third is the one I had a picture of in the initial post (I marked him with paint).

They're all pullets.

Even the bottom one? He's been trying to mount the others. That's why I marked him.

Yes

Sometimes hens mount each other to show dominance.
