Ok.. After thinking about it time and time again I just have to know... We picked out a few RIR's from a local breeder but one of them just stands out like a sore thumb... I know the guy has a mix of breeds but he assured us that they were all the same breed that we picked out... Maybe someone on here can give me some insight...
Definately a RIR! Almost 3 months old.
And here's all 3 small ones that I don't have a question about
NOW... The questionsable oddball!
As you can see from the pics, the oddball chick is feathering out MUCH more slowly, does not have a tail yet and looks "different" than the others... Maybe it's just a different sex than the others since I've read on several sites that RIR's roos get tail feathers slower?? (I think I remembered that correctly).. They are 3 weeks old.
