Looking for pics of juvenile (6 wks +/-) Rhode Island Reds

Exhibit C.

Cockerel.

She is a pullet.

Those little combs and the feathers together have been what is throwing me off. All the small combs are pale. The large combs are turning pinkish. The feathers are a mystery.

That one looks like a cockerel. At this age you are looking for comb and wattle growth. Any chicks with large bright red wattles and combs are cockerels. Females will have small pale combs and wattles. Looking at the saddle area isn't going to be an indicator right now. Male specific feathering won't come in until 10-12 weeks old at least.

Thank you so much. I will stick with my 'small, pale comb' method to separate out for now. There are 6 total i need to be looking at. And it is mish mosh of insanity. Lol.

Exhibit D.... are just a bunch of shots of the 'small pale combs' that I had lumped together. Didn't bother adding the pics of the tail feathers as it doesn't seem like it matters now.

Pullet, and so are all the fully visible birds in the first picture.

I am back. My 4 remaining chicks are now 10+ weeks along. Next Wed 6/5 they will be 11 weeks.

I am thinking I have one female but i also know that i really stink at guessing.

I have individual and group shots (these are mainly of them side by side eating). Since I will get more bang for my buck, i will post those first.

If you need to see individuals on any of them, please let me know.

As always, thank you for entertaining my queries.

This is Killian the RIR at about 7 or 8 weeks. She had me a little nervous around this time, but she is now a lovely laying hen at just over a year old.

I'd guess that C is a cockerel, possibly D as well. The other 2 are hard to tell.
