Another Roo?

[LilHitzel]

Am I looking at yet another roo? I already have one suspected roo in my batch of 7 vent sexed chicks. 4 week old Blue Australorp.

I am leaning more towards pullet, but I'd say right now it's 50/50.

Too early to say, Orpingtons are often missexed due to their fluffiness

That’s quite a comb, and I hardly ever see pullet wattle growth at this age, so if I had to guess I would say cockerel. But definitely not for sure yet, so update us in a few weeks. So cute!

So confusing because almost all of the chicks I have, have the same size wattle and comb as this one

Hm, well in that case it could be a pullet. I’ve never personally raised Blue Australorps, so they could be a fast developing breed?

He leaves us with no doubt now. Cockerel.
