I got smart this time and decided to build the brooder BEFORE my chicks arrived. For anyone interested, we went with "fancy chickens" this go around (our others...

    Dominique Gender?

    I have 6 very different chicks I want to ask about but I'll start with my favorite and the one I am most worried about being a roo. We were told this was a Dominique, and I'd love that confirmed too. S/he's about 4 or 5 weeks old so I don't know if that is too early. Whatcha think...
