Do we have a roo in the mix?

I have suspicions that one of our pullets, is in fact, not a pullet. We have a Black Sex Link, Blue Lace Wyandotte, and Rhode Island Red that I’m questioning. All around about 6-7 weeks I believe.

All look like pullets to me. Although the RIR may possibly be a cockerel.

The RIR looks like a cock to me!

Oh no that’s what I was afraid of. One of the sweetest ones, but we can’t have roosters where we live.

Your RIR would go on my 'hope' list... more comb and wattle than I'd want for pullets that age. But, with hatchery RIR and Barred Rocks (not that you've got one) they can 'go early'!

Sadly it is most likely a cockerel.

But I do think it possibly could just be a fast developing pullet!

We got them from Tractor Supply, so we suspected that they may not all be pullets.

Fingers crossed! What would be signs of it being a cockerel that I can watch for?
