Hi, everything is telling me this BR is a rooster, is there any hope that it is not? It is about 6 months old, has grown to be a bit larger than the other one the same age and is a bit feistier to try to pick up. Is a bit lighter coloured and seems to have more rooster like neck feathers. No saddle feathers though from what I can tell. The thing that throws me is that it doesnt seem to have much comb development and doesn’t do any crowing (except for a few weeks back when they all seemed to find their voice one day).
I’m pretty confident the darker one is a hen, and the other smaller one with the lighter legs I’m not sure but I’m hoping a hen too.
Should I expect to see some more significant comb and wattle development in a 6 months old roo by now?
In picture with the 3 birds the left is the suspect roo, the one in front I’m pretty sure is the hen of the same age. And the third on the right I hope is another hen but it is a few weeks younger than the others.
Thanks
