Are these roos?

[colinlyra]

They're all about 3.5 weeks old.

1-my favorite of course. looks very rooish to me but I'm very new to chickens.

3

4

Also-what breed(s) are 1-3? I posted when they were about 1.5 weeks old and some people said 1 was maybe a Delaware. Does that seem right now that they're more feathered?

Yes, they are roos.

Your favorites will always be the roos of the bunch as they are the boldest, most friendly and the ones who develop fun personalities....that is my experience anyway.

 

[lleighmay]

they all look roo to me for that age (though if it's any consolation I did have a BR last year who looked just like yours at that age who is now one of my best hens).....

 

[REINABUGY]

All Roos

 

[Montana-Hens]

I am saying 1 and 3 definately a roo.....at 3.5 weeks I might still pray for for 2 and 4 to be ladies.

 

[greenfamilyfarms]

All of those are dudes.

Has everyone else found this to be true? I have a RIR chick (5 weeks old) that we named Lucky because it survived a brooder fire (never clamp a lamp to a Rubbermaid "brooder"!) I am desperately hoping that it is a pullet, as "she" and I have been through a lot together, and I can't have a roo. This chick is a lap chick, always preferring human company to chicken company. Am I destined to have a roo based on personality? There is very little pinking of the comb at this point, and the comb itself is not very large, but I have no other experience with this breed.

I don't know about common breeds, but I find that so for my Ameraucanas - The boys are the sweetest, most outgoing ever! And the girls, well, they're as shy as my Marans. . . Hoping that will change when they start laying eggs though.
