This is my first time raising backyard chickens and I have been looking up information on how to determine if they are all three hens. My Barred Rock and Gold-laced Wyandotte pretty clearly match the descriptions of hens, but I think my my 4 month old Rhode Island Red might be a rooster... I could use a second opinion!

This photo is Roseanne at 2 months...


And both of these photos are Roseanne at 4 months...



Thanks for your help!
 
She looks like my year old RIR hens. Their comb and wattles look very similar to that.

You have a pullet. I wouldn't be surpised if she started laying within the month, judging by the size and reddness of her comb.

Ik this was an older post, so when did she start laying? She looks like my Penny in your pics I’m trying to figure out how old she is and when she will start laying, she now looks like your first pic no wattle yet.
