3-4 Week (Possibly 5-6) Old Leghorn, Roo?

Sorry, kinda new at this.

I thought my Leghorn gals were roos until they started laying eggs! Mine have big floppy red combs. I have no idea how to sex or any of that, so I just waited, and wallah! I have all great layer hens. I hope you have the same luck.

Hi, you need to go to "Uploads", find the file you have there, hit submit, then copy the location here on BYC and paste it to this thread.

How big is that bird?? Do you have a full body picture?

His eyes look like a meat bird to me......


But anyway, if he's that young then ya it's a boy.

He/She is about 8 inches in length and 6 inches tall. What makes you say it's a meat bird?

Just the shape of his eyes. They are different than my Leghorns' eyes, and remind me of some meatie chick pictures I have seen.

No big deal though. Mine are hens afterall, not roosters so I might be totally wrong.

If you had a full body pic it would tell for sure.

Yeah I'll try to get a full body pic, but haha I don't know if I can, Major. Hoolihan (The possible roo) is super squeamish, He/She'll bolt at any sight of freedom. Notice my firm grip in the picture.
