rooster or hen?

[flemmingfarms]

this bird is about 18 weeks old. not sure if it is a rooster or a hen. when we bought it it was in a group of chicks from Tractor Supply. based on its coloring as a chick, I think it is a New Hampshire red. it also has some green feathe

rs coming in on its tail. but I can't see any Spurs. I don't know if those come in later.

I think you may have a rooster there. May we see a full body shot from the side, please?

I say pullet. Comb is small for 18 week roo. But let's see a body shot to be sure.

I say its a pullet.

I agree. Pullet. Some hens have more comb and sooner than others do.

Here Is A Pic From A Few Minutes Ago. Notice How You Can See The Dark TAil Feathers (But Pecked At). And Another With Chickens Of The Same Age.
