RIR girls????

[cafrhe]

Hi all,
I (us including my enthusiastic daughter) have recently started our flock of chickens with 3 RIR, 3 BO, and 2 Ameraucanas (although they look a lot like EEs after some research).

We have been having suspicions about one or two of the RIR. Could anyone help us put to rest our suspicions of a rooster or two?

all 3 together


We think she is a she


This one 'croaks' (according to dd)


This one has bigger comb and redder waddles


Thanks for your help!

They are all girls.

Thanks so much. We did only want girls, but would have been good with 1 rooster.

All are pullets,leaning on the last 1...

All 4 turned out to be hens. 1 is somewhat more masculine though-her tail is longer and she has quite a croak--not quite a crow, but still an odd sound coming from a hen.

Okay

Also are you sure the last one is RIR?

All three of them are Production Red pullets (as opposed to pure RIRs).

Here they are this past summer....I think these are 3 different chickens..but maybe just 2...I might not have the one with the little bit longer tail (just the top feathers)

I have some RIR's and they are much darker than these, leaning towards a deep mahogany colour.

Nice birds though!
