Looking for my Andalusian roo

[Aki no niwatori]

So not only did the hatchery not mark the roo there I experienced a die off so I know there is a chance there is no longer a roo in the flock. Following are the remaining chicks they are a month old which I know may be too early but I was taking the chance to go ahead and ask since I was moving them between cages and could take pictures of them all.

The only two that look like they could maybe be males are 4 and 6. But I'm not sure either is an Andalusian, because their feet look yellowish in the photos, and Andalusians should have white or pinkish white coloring on the undersides of their feet, not yellow. So check on that detail.

They don't look like Andalusians to me.

That's what the hatchery said they were and the only bird of that color I had ordered. If they arent then I'll be sure to have a bone to pick with the hatchery. I ordered from Murray's

Look at the undersides of the feet if you can. There should be no yellowish or greenish color in that area for Andalusians. It may just be the camera that makes it look yellow to us.

No 6 is a sure cockerel

How so?

How so?

His comb is really developed for a month old bird to be a pullet

Alright if I just wasn't sure what to watch for. I've not raised roosters before.

Eh, im not sure I agree I’ve had pullets that developed that fast before. I would say that he is most likely to be a cockerel, but not a sure bet *yet*
