RIR pullets or cockeral

[Bedste]

Are wood shaving FREE or cheap where you live? I am forced to use HAY because wood shavings are so expensive. Where do you get them? It is funny about the photo with their water full of shavings. I just noticed it.

I get it from a feed store... think I paid about fifteen dollars for a 15 pound bag. I also mix it with hay.

Does she look like a pullet?

I know it's too early to tell. Just got her last week, sweetie!

now way can I tell..... have you tried the feather method of sexing them? Did you buy her as a pullet?> She does look like a sweety...

I checked the tail feathers, all are the same length...except one. I laughed! Guess I'll just have to wait a bit longer. She or he is very sweet and I'll keep this one for sure.

All of our RIRs have had a little ridge running up the forehead from the beak at first, whether male or female. It can be hard to tell from a "comb" at a young age. The one we thought was a roo this spring at about week 1 turned out to be a fast growing pullet that got a bit ahead of the rest in development for a while and fooled us.

Good luck!
