Him or Her

ok intrigued. There must be males if you hatched these... I enlarged the pictures and the 3rd & 5th (files ...15b and ...18b) do look like their wattles have a bit more development. They all still look like pullets from their lack of saddle-pointy feathers though. Ask cmom if her RIR males at 11 weeks start to have pointy saddle feathers? Unfortunately the pictures cannot show much spur-comparisons, or pointy vs. rounded saddle feathers (on a mature bird, these hang down on the sides at the rear of the back, just in front of the tail). So you will probably wait, eh? Or get hungry and go for #3 and #5 if you had to avoid starvation before they are fully differentiated. BTW, in the picture where there are two birds (or 3) standing near a wall, the middle bird looks like the same bird that is in the second picture.
