6 week old ISA Brown - roo or hen?

[AnnTerry]

New chicken parents here. We have 10 6 week old ISA Brown chicks that we got from TSC. We ordered only females, but are not sure if we have a roo in the mix. We don't want any roos and are hoping all we have are hens. I have attached pics of the chick I have some doubts about. It may be that it is developing faster than the others, but just not sure. Any help would certainly be appreciated! Thanks!!

Cockerel. Your suspicions are correct.

Oh, there’s a 2nd thread. I answered in the second, but she’s correct.

You MAY be able to get a refund on that one, since you ordered them through TSC. Check the fine print on sex guarantee. I emailed the company when I received my 10 ISAs, and half of them were DOA, with another that passed the same day. I sent pics as well, and my order info. They quickly refunded the cost for the 6. Or, try to rehome him. Love my 2 that are left. Lost 2 to raccoons in the fall.. They have been my best layers of jumbo and XL eggs. I've read, however, that they have a short lifespan of 3-3.5 yrs. Am getting more chicks this spring. Did all yours make the shipping trip?
