RIR pullet?

[Utopianite]

About 10 days old... I picked this little one out of the female Rhode Island Red bucket because of the pretty stripes on her back. Now that the wing feathers are growing in, they have white tips which my oldest son tells me only males have.

So, do I even have a Rhode Island Red, and is she a he???

I've never seen a RIR with barring on the wings/ or seen one that young

Maybe an Americana? They had those close by.

What color are her legs? When mine started feathering in, her plumage was barred.

They're lighter colored. You can see them a little bit in this picture:

White tips on the wing feathers don't mean "it" is a certain gender. As for whether it is a Rhode Island Red, it is a strange color for that breed. Could be a Production Red or another breed; we'll know for sure as it gets more mature.
