Am I a roo?

[Tandrae87]

My mommy is worried I am a roo and she isn't suppose to keep a roo in city limits.. can anyone confirm. I dont know exactly how old I am.. probably 5 weeks and I think I am an olive egger. Thanks for helping my mom!

Pecks,
Omlette

Curious as to why you think this is a roo? I’m a new chick mom and the ones of my flock I think are Roos have huge combs and the beginnings of waddles. What are you seeing here that I’m missing?

This new mommy is thinking Omlette is a roo due to his comb already turning pinkish red. And sadly I think my fears are getting confirmed!

Comb and wattle development + age. Significant development and redness at 6 weeks or younger are almost always cockerels.
