Are these Roos? w/Pics

Wattles are the red droopy things under the chin on the sides right?

Yup. Comb on top, wattles underneath the beak in most breeds. But EE's have beards, so they don't get wattles.

Hmmm...I've got two "EEs" with wattles coming in.

They are colored like EEs--one has slightly more yellow legs. I will try to find some pictures, if I can't, I'll go take some.

OK, here is a picture of Kickin' Wing squaring off with one of the roos.

Kickin Wing is also a roo.

Here are some pictures of the other roosters with their wattles.

The flash has corrupted the color (they are a very bright red) and Bart was not being cooperative:

Here is another picture of Feo, I was hoping you could show me the "smutting" of color?

I was also wondering if the more submissive roos would be less likely to crow around the dominant ones (who have both crowed)?

I wouldn't say that Feo definitly is, the comb shows no red in the pictures

Red or not, I'll eat my shoe if it's not a boy. He is starting to show the reddish color smut in the wing area - only boys get that. Also his comb is wide and prominently showing the 3 rows on the pea comb, which girls do not get theirs that early.

And EE's don't get wattles.

Haha ~ Eat your shoe??

Just thought I'd give an update to let everyone know that Kickin' Wing is a boy. He did his first crow yesterday. Thank you to all that helped. I'm still waiting on Feo to crow, even though he has "roo" written all over him.
