Hi everyone! I have EE’s that are almost 11 weeks old. I was wondering if this white one is a rooster with those tail feathers? Also the black ones tail feathers are looking suspicious. I’m just confused because they don’t have a comb. Two of their hatch mates grew combs weeks ago and we gave...

Oh good advice!! I do always make her get down. Because i ain’t about to have poop all over me.

6 weeks old

I’m not sure if I did this right but here’s wing picture

I picked up a barred rock chick today from cal ranch. My kids favorite chicken was a barred rock so I promised we’d get one. I only got one but now I’m worried it could be a roo, which we cannot keep. Can anyone tell by the spot on its head?
