These are supposed to be 3 white rocks. I think one is something else and a roo. It's wings are a darker brown Instead of white like the other two. Breed?
Thanks so much for your time!!!

I'm a newbie and I just picked up 5 golden campines and 2 blue laced wyandottes from a local chicken lady. I have an exchange agreement with her if any turn out to be roosters. I just got them on Wednesday, so I don't want to jump the gun too early, but I would say this one is a rooster. I'm no expert but that is a pretty pronounced wattle. Have another thread but I thought I would try here too.

Just fyi that's a comb not it's wattles. The wattles are the things that grow on either side of its beak. That does look like a very big comb for such a little chick. It would be helpful to see a picture of one of the other chicks for comparison.

Here is a picture of one of the other ones. Thanks for the info on wattles/combs.

How old are they?

One month old

One month old

I would definitely keep an eye on the first one you posted. It's comb does look bigger. Do you happen to notice if it stands up straighter than the other ones?

 

[srutan23]

No I haven't noticed the way it stands, but I noticed that it is always standing on the feeder.

So my Rhode Island reds are 3+ weeks old now! And I got my wynadottes to hold still!
So here they are:
Peppercorn (suspected rooster?)









Another RIR chick for comparison (both of the other two are developing very similarly)





I have no clue what the three silver laced wynadottes are, so here's all three.
Topaz. And Yes, (s)he has a single comb rather than the standard kind.




Diamond



C.Z.




I'm also curious about these two, but they're bantams so I don't know if they're big enough to tell yet!
Batman (unknown breed, maybe Japanese Bantam?)



Acorn (Silver duckwing OEGB)







Anyway, thanks for any opinions or guesses!

Peppercorn does look like a roo to me. Acorn may possibly be one too. I can't speak for all the others.
