Rooster or hen Rhode Island Red!

[julie219]

I'm frebruary we bought 4 chicks of what were suppose to be females. We are suspicious about our one lately, she was suppose to be a Red Cross but doesn't look like one. She looks more like a Rhode Island Red and sadly I think she might be a he! Was looking for some help, I'm hoping Poppey is a girl. she's quite shiny/wet looking which I read can be signs of a rooster.

She looks like a hen to me with a big comb.

She is indeed a she. Just has larger comb and wattles than is typical.

Weird, the body looks pullet but the head is all rooster

Female. Google a Rhode Island Red rooster and you will easily see the difference.

We definitely thought so too until a friend who is more experienced with chickens said the rooster features just aren't noticeable yet lol so I was looking for other opinions!

Purchased in February male traits would be apparent at this point

I think it is a pullet. If it is.. Then it will be definitely be laying soon, Especially with comb and wattles like that!
