It's a girl for me.

 

[crazy chook]

from the tail and comb I say GIRL!!

Roo - I just rehomed 3 boys and at that age that is what they looked like. My girls are almost 5 months old and not at laying age yet (slow to mature) so combs are still pale and barely any wattle.

Turned out to be a BOY... and not a nice one at that (he's tiny and bites me savagely if I get to close with my hands, grrr) - here are some pics I took today, he's 11 weeks old now. I will use these to put him up for sale in the local online ads, I have too many roos and can't be bothered! Little runty brat! LOL

Awww that's too bad becuase he's gorgeous!

Does he crow? I can see the hackle but no saddle? he's a strange one! aggression does not necessarily mean roo I have had some mean hens, though if he crows then he is a roo

no crowing - he's only 11 weeks old and very low on the totem pole... he's half the size of the two girls that were hatched at the same time, it's very strange.

I'll keep him a bit longer as he's not causing any riffs in the flock, I want to be 150% sure he's a roo before letting him go - I am in dire need of girls!
