I got this golden polish as a freebie with my McMurray Hatchery order. I did order polish as well, and actually FORGOT to order a roo for them. So if this ends up being a roo, I'm set!
He/she is actually very skittish and it was hard to get close enough to take a good photo. So I took lots of photos in hopes of the camera focusing in on different parts each time. Because of that, this post will have MANY photos.
I tried to zoom in on his neck feathers here. This is what makes me think he's likely a roo. But isn't 6 weeks a bit early to develop these?
Another close-up of neck feathers.
His crest is mottled - not laced. And he can see out from under it better than the pullets. Two more reasons I think he may be a roo...
Here, the yellow arrow is pointing to what I THINK may be a possible spur bump. I can rarely get close enough to him to see. I may try sneaking out there tonight after dark to look at his legs more.
