RIR Gender

[GoAngels]

6.5 week old RIR. The main reasons I question her gender is that she was slower to feather out than her RIR sister of the same age and she is now bigger and has significantly bigger legs than her sister. Also, her sister had a stripe on the back of her head and this one didn't. These are our first chicks and we only have three, so if she is a he, we would only have two for our flock (we are stealth).

For me it is a girl

Quite a bit of comb on there. I have about a dozen roos this age now and a few hens that are older. The hens really dont have much of a comb at about 12 weeks. Compared to some of my other breeds the combs on this breed seem to develop a little slower. I'd say in the next couple weeks if that comb gets any bigger you got yourself a roo. Hope this helped.

Looks like a rooster to me because of the really thick legs and comb size...sorry

I think you have a boy.
