    Thinking these two olive eggers are roos. One for sure... What do you think?

    The bigger with a straight comb is 5 weeks the smaller with straight comb 4 weeks. The one with a pea comb is 4 weeks too. I removed the 2 with the straight comb and the brooder seems more peaceful. Does any one have any idea? Thank you!
