RIR sexing

[Jenifer72]

Quote:
Some breeds, including RIR have pullets that develop feathers at twice the rate as the cockerals. So the faster feathering could be a good indication of a hen. My 3 RIR chicks are 4 weeks now and the faster feathering ones which I thought were roosters, are definately hens. They have lots of feathers, small skinny legs, shorter yellow comb, and a low chick walk, and other girly features.

GOOD! Thanks for the help!

It took until my RIRs were 8 weeks old before we were absolutely sure who was a roo and who was not. It turned out we had 2 and 2. The roos are now gone and have been replaced by a pair of Golden sex links and a pair of Black Jersey Giants because we know those are hens for sure...

Can anyone tell if my little Lois Griffin is a pullet or roo? I was told when I bought her that she was a pullet but her tail is suspicious.
Thanks in advance!

Male or female? This is my baby from when it was a chick to now is it a hen or Roo?

I would say roo
