Out of 10 babies I think I may have 3-4 roos. I think that because their combs are bigger than the others. That is the only criteria I'm going on Other than that I guess I'll just have to wait and see who crows!

Bantam chick

This one is definitely a rooster. He will be colorful for sure.

and the surprise chick....apparently the hen stamped this chick 100%

as there isn't a hint of Louie our rooster anywhere on her.
