Roo or Pullet? 8 week old Red Sex Link or New Hampshire

[ske1806]

Could you please tell me if you think this is a girl or a boy? The chick is about 8 weeks old now and is very docile.

I'd say that is a hatchery quality RIR or a production red and if it really is only 8wks, I say it's a roo.

The comb,wattles and big feet indicate it's a rooster.

RIR and NH cockerels usually have redder combs and wattles at 8 weeks. I'd hold off on judging just yet...my bet would be pullet. If you search RIR or New Hampshire, you'll see quite a few pics of pullets with combs like that at 8 weeks.

That is not a Red Sex Link. I don't see the white feathers it. I'd guess pullet at this point.

How about the tail feathers. There's a little curl in them, which makes me think roo. But the behavior is really not cockerel like.

Here's Big Red at 13 weeks. Any chance for this to be a pullet?
