What breed is he again?
Turn out pullets?[COLOR=4B0082]I have a chick I am thinking ia a Roo actually 2 of them. From what I am reading even the slightest bit of pinkness at this age, 4wks, could be a tell that these chicks are Roos.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=4B0082]The 1st one is a EE?/ barnyard mix, s/he started out with chipmunk colouration, and came from the heavy breed straight run bin at Runnings.[/COLOR]
2 days [COLOR=000000]4 weeks [/COLOR]
[COLOR=4B0082]I noticed yesterday there was a pink cast to the comb area and the single row has now split into 3 separate rows.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=4B0082]This chick has been rather assertive since the beginning. S/he weighs more than the other chicks, is bigger, taller, heavier thicker legs. However, since I have different kinds of chicks there are no others to compare it to.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=4B0082]The second chick I purchased as a Marans pullet at Chickenstock however, I also notice pink on this comb. This chicken is the only chick that stands up to and is aggressive with the above chick. Additionally, S/he has very little in the way of a tail, it has a very rounded bottom. This chick is suppose to be 4-ish weeks.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=4B0082]Thank you for any help in identifying these chicks. I hope you all have a great day. [/COLOR]

6 week old bantams. The barred one's comb is worrying me.
Do you know the precise breeds or are the mixed, clear head shots of both would help. I agree the barred one looks like a roo.
