I have a two week old light brahma chick that is WAY behind my other 5 chicks.
The chicks are from MPC and were all sexed, but I know there is a 10% chance she is a he.... "she" is all chick fuzz while everyone else has wings.
How long did it take for you to know you had a roo?
PS- no balding in the family
Oh I can't have roos and I try to help anything that is ugly or different that comes my way just because I don't believe in killing something for being different. Sick is another thing but you wouldn't disown your child for having big ears or a lopsided nose and I won't cull for being ugly. Anyway I wanted it so badly to be a hen and everyone said because of the feathering thing it was going to be a roo. I didn't give in to hotwing being a roo til he started to do the baby crow thing at about 5 months. When his feathers started actually growing in he only had wing tip feathers for a long time. The only thing about him that even remotely said roo to me was the fact that his legs were thicker or bigger than the girls. Without feathers he just looked like your dinner walking around....literally!
