Ok, I did mix pictures up:/ sorry. I'm going to give it another shot. 1-3 RIR pictures are v

ery similar !

the last two are different birds. Could I have a Roo on my hands? Should I take pictures of the girls bodies ?

Thank you, should I take some other pictures of legs ect..? They look so much alike we had to tag them. We have other breeds but they are so different looking!! All the girls are sweet! I have noticed one being more dominant and explores more on her/his own. Plus will try to steal food from our rooster. I didn't think much of it. Just figured they were establishing there pecking order. As we did purchase the girls from a feed store. Defiantly will be observing more after work.

Updated pictures, not the greatest sorry! I just took a bunch of pictures, there are 4 or 5 different birds total. Please I'm hoping they all are pullets?!

any thought in middle RIR being a pullet or Roo ?

I know my TSC gals are what I call "mystery reds", but I was wondering if any RIR peeps could help me decide if I have a roo or pullet on my hands. "Rosie" has a redder comb than the other two, but not bigger ....and she has started growng really pretty black/green tail feathers and she has a ring of dark feathers on her neck. I got the best pics I could. I was just hoping that in some cases or breeds pullets did get pretty tail feathers. So far the shape of her tail is the same as the other two, but she is also the boldest and bossiest of the flock., They are approx 3 months old. Any thoughts welcome. Thanks!

I have 3 RIR, I had the same thought you do. One has a darker , bigger, redder comb and her face is much redder . She is a few shades darker then the other two. She also has a few black feathers. I did post pics on this post a few days ago. Since then I have chatted with a few very knowledgeable people. Turns out it's just a little different genetics. I also compared pictures with another lady. Her cockerel had a wattle very early !! So don't quote me but I will guess a beautiful pullet. Definitely keep asking but my fear of having another Rooster is gone. Good luck!
