Roo or hen??

[Jenperry]

my 9 week old Isa brown has a larger, redder comb than her sister. Is she really a he? I have included pics of her and same aged sister. Thanks for the help.

Picture one is definitely a rooster! Especially if the two are the same age!

Hopefully you have a rooster plan...?

Oh shoot. I really hope she’s just a early bloomer. She is the sweetest one in the flock

I'm pretty sure it is a rooster as well. A side view would be helpful to better see the saddle feathers (between the wings and the tail).

Young roo, for sure. The saddle feathers are just visible on one side, and they are narrow. Roosters are often very friendly as juveniles. Is its voice kind of musical? I have noticed that most of mine are-it is one way I tentatively identify young males.

I think so. I was just noticing that tonight.
