    Speckled sussex roo?

    One of my sussex has a larger redder comb than it’s hatchmate, one lonely curved tail feather but I’m still wondering if it could be a hen. I’d be happy with a roo. This one was slower to feather in. Stands more upright, “heavier” than the other pullet, and just always is alert and alerting to...

They are on Purina Layena...

    New Hampshire roo?

    2 almost 3 weeks. We were told that it was a pullet batch, but the "chicken lady" at our feed store thought this one was a roo! Has a crazy character to it so either way, we are thrilled but I do think it's a roo too. Comb is pretty red and his head seems rounder than the other pullets we have...
