Its all good, you can wait until it crows and then still stay in denial as I did. I was certain my little Chickie was just imitating his playmate, Roo.

Why only 7 day quarantine? Seems very short. Room restraints?

Exactly. :/

And you can imagine me here with my fingers crossed chanting "please be a girl, please be a girl"

Cute ....MY fAVORITE PIC

Ive read you can sex by tail feathers arriving early - FIRST FEW DAYS ONLY on some breeds

your best guess

To soon to tell for sure ...if the legs stay big & the Wattles drop ...Watch out ! Its a Roo ..
IF it is very friendly & allows you to pick it up ..i would say it is a girl

Pretty Roo what is he ?

The colorful roo is a Faverolle and the other one turned out to be a roo too though at the time I took this shot I thought the black one was a pullet.

Quote: He is Pretty ! The baby Roo is cute too ..No doubt you thought he was a she because of the cute skirts he was wearing as a youngster

He is starting to get yellow feathers too..he is 4 months ..He is almost the size of the hens now .
He is going to be a big boy

What's he crossed with??

I've got a few hens who are white with the occasional black spot. And the roo that came with them looked very similar to your guy! I never knew what breed he or the girls are...
