I have read a lot on here about sexing BRs, but I have a question about one of my new chicks. They are 2.5 weeks old, so I know it's really early, but is this looking like a roo? I really hope not as they aren't allowed in my county. I have 2 BRs in my little flock, one is darker than this one, for sure, but I am not sure if just having one to compare makes this one a "he". Anyone have any thoughts? 
Thanks!!!

With several comments about finding it hard to obtain good quality Brabanters, has anyone purchased from Sandhill? Where have you found good quality stock? If our town changes it's regs, this is... -
I like everything about it except how it looks right now. I know it lays decently. It is a great part of my great waterfowl flock. -
First, watching a runner duck run is awesome. They can find their own food. They aren't like pekins in water. Mine haven't started laying but I heard their decent. -
Its not as fat and slow as a pekin, but its not frail either. I want a mallard but I don't want a flying bird. The rouen is great for that. -
They are my calmest birds and are easiest to catch. They eat less than Pekins. I heard they also lay well, but mine are younger.
