RIR Gender?

I agree with hen and roo. In the side view of nutwhatever, look at the stance and the legs. Compare the body shape with the other pic. I vote Nutmax.

More time has passed and I am now thinking Nutmax....Ginger laid her first egg two days ago! Woohoo! Nutmax hasn't even looked at the nesting box. So, I have put him up on the auction block. Actually, I would prefer to trade him as I want another pullet or two. Another one of life's little curve balls.

i think it is a roo

Rooster for sure.
The difference is too stark, including waddle size and intensity of color on the face.

I have one just like Nutmeg/Nutmax and thought for sure it was a rooster to be. Yours is almost the same age too. It looks like you stole the pictures from me. My "rooster" has now layed six eggs, six days in a row! I think you will have the experience.

Don't auction her off just yet! I am guessing lady x2. I'm not seeing any roo characteristics at all!

I know for sure Ginger the smaller bird is a hen. She laid another egg yesterday. So, we are up to two for the week. I have yet to catch Nutmeg/Nutmax in the nexting box. I will keep an eye on Nutmeg/Nutmax, but I am still leaning roo. I would love to be proven wrong. I will get a pic tonight and upload a updated image of both.

And yet another curve ball.....They are both girls! So, Ginger and NutMEG. I have been getting about two eggs a day, one from each hen. We haven't bought store eggs since September! It is absolutely fantastic. Just thought I would share.
