Any way this is NOT going to be a roo?

Roosters are just as cool as hens except they dont lay eggs. They can be trained to be even nicer than a lot of hens too. Just look at my avatar that is a roo and it is even nicer than my hens.

We are hoping for one roo. We like to have fertilized eggs for when we need to increase our flock. We just can't have more than one with the amount of hens that we have. Plus the chickens are housed on my in-laws land so we do not want to over-crowd our free housing!

Darn! I was told when that one (the brown one) hatched out, I have two of them, that they would both be hens since they were sex-linked. Buff roo and BR hen. Does this mean they are not really sex-linked?

I think that should be sex linked, with the boys being barred. That chick does have awfully thick legs, maybe she'll just be a big girl?

My rooster is the most outgoing and social of all of my young flock and was the first to let me pick him up voluntarily. I hope hormones don't mess him up

Maybe. Or we got the eggs switched and they are a cross between a BO roo and BA hen. There is a good chance that happened! Either way the brown chicks look like they will be beautiful. They are solid brown.
