Jun 2, 2011 #12 mrsengeseth Songster 11 Years Aug 20, 2008 1,749 29 171 Colorado...but home is Maine I'd feel pretty confident saying they are both roos. Some pics of the second birds saddle feathers and tail might lay some debate to rest. Although from the looks of the comb at that age...and the legs...screams roo to me.

Jun 2, 2011 Thread starter #16 k9lin In the Brooder 11 Years Mar 17, 2008 25 0 32 Thanks so much for your observations. They are both 8 weeks old. The EE is calm, and so beautiful - I didn't know you could sex the EE's by the coloring..... good to know. I'll try and get some better photos of the RIR this afternoon. Thanks everyone!
