I don't know if this is a roo or what breed it is. I purchased a variety pack for a broody hen. Heard crowing this morning and don't know who is the culprit. This chick is so beautiful in real life...maybe it is the roo? 9 weeks old.
Someone is crowing out there. 9 week old chicks. Also not sure what kind of chick this is. I bought a dozen fertile eggs for a broody hen. Variety pack.

You know I will honestly say, that is more then likely a hen, how I can tell is the way she holds her tail. Her tail feathers also do not come up in the traditional arch like a roo does. This has always been a good sign for me and I have been 90% correct. It definitely does not mean its not a roo but by my experience with chickens especially one at this age.. It seems she has some cochin in her as well. Now the roo of the cochin does not have an arched tail feather/s. But they still do carry it very high. I could probably judge better if I actually seen the bird in a natural setting where he/she isn't nervous. Her wattles are also small and spread apart and her comb is short with small points rather then the big points that a rooster traditionally has. But this of course is not a professional guess but ya.
