I'm not sure what Juliechick saw to make her think roo, but the more upright stance, the redder and larger comb and what are staring to look more like pointy saddle feathers had me wondering.   
It's definitely one of the more vocal of the bunch. I haven't heard it crow yet, but I will listen.  
I'm hoping for a pullet. The BYC community spotted my EE roo right away. I am suspicious of one of the other little bantams too. Not 100% positive on it's breed so it's hard to tell.  
My daughter picked out some bantams chicks at TSC. The buff brahma has always been quite sure of itself and pushes around the standard chicks twice it's size. I don't know much about brahmas in general so curious to see what you think....

frank is an EE roo about 14-15 weeks old. He has shown some of the typical behavior like grabbing the pullets by the neck and jumping on them. This morning he chased a buff out of the coop as soon as we opened the door. She was squealing...
