RIR any chance she’s a girl🤞🏼

[Crumchicks]

This is our only Rhode Island Red, she’s always had a larger comb and wattles than the other breeds we got at the same time. She’s 18 weeks, no crowing or anything yet. She blinked for the second picture but it shows her compared to the others!

I’m sorry to say that you’ve got a cockerel. Are you able to keep him?

I say its just a masculine pullet, and developed faster. Cause I see no male specific feathering, plus it just kinda looks like a girl.

Wait a minute… 18 weeks… I suppose it may be a pullet, but it seems strange that it would have such a large comb, especially at such a young age

Unfortunately where we live we can’t have Roos. I’ve been holding out hope since it hasn’t crowed yet.

I agree with Tookie a masculine pullet

 

[fluffycrow]

I second (but for three) that. I really do think it's a pullet

I still wouldn’t get rid of him/her! It’s pretty hard to tell, but after looking at the photos for a second time, specifically the feathers, the saddle feathers seem way too round to be a cockerel… but it’s the comb that’s got me stumped.

Definitely won’t be getting rid of her unless she starts to crow and makes the neighbors mad

RIRs are known for being fast developers they tripped me up when I started. This girl may also be coming into lay I see an egg for you in the near future!
