7.5 week old SLW's... roos?

[fshinggrl]

Ok, here are a few pictures.. I am pretty sure I have one ROO in my pullet order.. question is, how many more. I have 3 that have 'no' comb and 4 that have single combs. Can you tell by the feather patterns coming in? These are all hatchery birds. THanks!!!
here are two of them together.

two more (hen is definitely on the left/bottom)

single bird

Ok, you are either getting sick of me or the jury is still out on these. Any guesses?

Hmmmm, here are a couple of pics of my SLW roo when he was about their age last year. Notice how tiny his little tail was back then. And notice how it was curling downward instead of sticking out like a pullet's. Notice all the white on his back and wing areas. Notice those red wattles.

Can you get some more body shots of your birds so people can get a better look at the saddle feather area?

I would say that all are hens EXCEPT the very last picture. I believe the last picture is a roo. Here is a picture of my 9 week olds. Roo on right, Hen on left. Hope this helps!

Thanks. I keep waiting for the crowing to start! I appreciate the pictures for comparison.

Mine didn't start growing until about week 12. I do have an older roo in there though that was crowing first. Sometimes if you have multiple roos, the dominant one starts to crow first and then the others follow.

The two on the left look the most girly to me, but I'll leave it to the experts to figure this one out.
