ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!


Is there a way to tell for sure? bc right now the vote seems 50/50 lol.

I say pullet. Body is too short and stocky to be a cockeral. Legs are too short.

Every RIR Roo I've had has been as long and gangly as a teenage boy..

My 13 week old RIR pullets have almost no signs of a comb. Also it looks like "she" has rather think legs.
Sorry, but it looks like a roo to me.

Here is a pic of my RIR hen. She is 7 months old now and hardly has any comb still. She has been laying for about 2-3 months.

(Ignore her awkard pose, she was scratching at the time I took the picture.)

it's a cockeral. If you look at the feathers right in front of the tail they are very skinny and pointy, they are called sickle feathers....
I am 100% sure that is a boy....

That is what I consider significant on an 8 weeker. Sorry, cockeral.

 

[pinkfeather]

Yeah, I see some rooster feathering there too. Sorry, roo.
