RIR Mommy in Shock!

WOW! That is one honkin' close up! She looks about to take a chunk out of the camera! I can't get that close to mine.

Yep, that's definitely a "she". They all develop at their own pace...the more developed one will probably start laying very very soon, and her sister will follow shortly. They both are beautiful little pullets. For comparison, here is my RIR roo at only 15 weeks old...notice his huge comb and wattles (even bigger now at 30 weeks), and also his glossy hackle and saddle feathers:

That is a very nice rooster! And totally proves that she is indeed a she!

Thanks for the compliment on the girls. I thought they were beautiful, but you know what they say....Mom's always think their kids are the cutest

Thanks...I think he's pretty awesome myself. I need to get new pictures of him because he is even more impressive now, especially his beautiful tail feathers.

If I were you, I would be checking the coop for eggs every day!
