We think RIR...we hope pullet!

[SheeReno]

Hey all, this is good ol' Special Agent Fitzhugh, growing up oh so fast. We think that the chickie is a RIR but are not sure. These were taken today, (s)he is about 6 weeks old now.

The comb looks yellowish yet, and I've seen some RIR hens on here with some sizable combs and wattles, so we're holding out. Fitzy is our best chicken!

My RIR girls never had such a red comb and waddles at 6 weeks. I'm gonna say Rooster!

This is a pic of my RIR girls at 12 weeks. You got a roo there.

sorry to say, but i agree with all the others ....

that's gotta be a rooster....Our RIR's are about 10 weeks and one of them has a comb just about that size....

Not what we wanted to hear, but thanks everybody. Right now we're in the "um...let's wait until he crows" denial about things.
