Thought I had all pullets, but these two still make me wonder.....

[apack711]

I've got eight pullets, about 9-11ish weeks old. I still have two that make me wonder, they act a little different than the other girls at times and the tail feathers are totally different. One of them is an EE, and the other a RIR. Here are some pictures, hoping I could get some help.... cause I'm no expert! Thanks in advance!

chickenbutts!

They sure look like pullets to me. I have the two breeds and they look very similar. EEs can have very different tails so don't judge by the tail in that breed. The RR can have quite a large comb and still be a hen. The only thing that looks a little rooish on the RR is the size of her legs. They are a bit large for 11 weeks.

As far as temperament, hens can be quite aggressive and roo's quite sweet. You don't have far to go until you know for sure. Good luck!

P.S. They are really a bunch of beautiful, heathy, chicks!

Love the chickenbutts pic and love the white (EE?)pullet with the greenish legs. My EEs are black/gray so the green legs don't stand out to much. Love it!

Thanks! I think she's so beautiful and different from all the other girls, she's always so clean and bright white, even though in New England we've had rain for about a month straight she manages to keep her lovely image

She's a little peanut too. It's funny, she started out being the biggest chick and now shes the runt ... and the little tiny golden comet runt is now a GIANT.

I vote Pullets too

I agree, they look pullet-ish to me. I LOVE your EE, I wish I had one like that looked like that. She is gorgeous! I love my EEs, and they are great layers.
