Aww yay im glad my recent obsession on this website has been helpful to you aha . I assume because you've researched it you're aware of some of the negative/cons people have mentioned. Hopefully it solves your problem though.

I completely understand. We have a roo and pullet that hatched together and they are almost always together.

Are you allowed to keep your roo? I did see the negative comments, and cons. I don't mind the lack of beautiful roo plumage. More important to me to keep them together. thanks again!

We are allowed roosters here and i don't have the heart to give my little one away if it does turn out to be one.

Like i said before im not much help as im a newbie, but your black one is feathering slower. I don't see any growing or pink combs which is good. Lovely feathers on the brown one.

feathering slower usually means which? I love the brown one's feathering too! thanks!

Feathering slower means roo, but I think you are good, I mean they aren't showing any other signs!

How old are they now? Mine is just over four weeks, he/she has a small pinky peach comb and still isn't fully feathered. However, I think it was more feathered than yours at 3 weeks. Different breeds feather at different times/rates. but i meant to say before they look like pullets to me atm.

Still hoping mine is a pullet, as the comb isn't actually red yet and is still small. Fingers crossed

Think our rir roo is responsible for the dark brown feathers on our little one. Have discovered the same kind of patch under both wings.

Taken today. 4 weeks, 2 days old.
