Roo or hen?





Here are the ones I suspect are roos. They are 7 weeks old. What do you guys think? I don't have much experience with roosters, I had a really mean RIR rooster that we had to get rid of because he kept attacking us and the hens. Not sure I want any roosters at all. That wasn't the plan...these chicks were supposed to all be pullets.

Look like Roos to be. The eye in the last picture is "cloudy" or is it just the angle?

This is my 10-week-old RIR pullet. Yours has a much more developed comb than mine.
