Hi,
I have 5-6 week old chicks from Hoover Hatchery that I am beginning to worry two of them might be cockerels. One is a Barred Rock, I am thinking it may be a cock because it is significantly lighter and its' comb is much more visible and redder than the other BR's. The other one I can't tell if it is a Starlight Green Egger or a Cinnamon Queen. Since both breeds are hybrids I am a bit stumped. I am worried that this one is a rooster is because its' comb is also big and red. I found a photo of a rooster CQ from Cackle, that looks pretty similar to it. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated, thank you!
CQ
SGE
The neck feathers are darker and there is brown on the wings.
