Hey, I bought a bunch of pullet chicks, but being in intown Atlanta, roosters just won't work well with the neighbors. But it looks like one of my barred rocks is looking more like a roo, but I'm hoping I'm just paranoid. Can anybody help me sex these chicks? Thanks in advance!

The suspected roo. Very light shading on the legs, slightly larger white bars on the feathers, bigger(but symmetrical) white spot on the head, and comb is coming in.

Suspected roo from the top.

Pretty sure this is a pullet

Thoughts? Keeping my fingers crossed!

Awwww stink...he's got the *best* personality too. Always the first to come for treats - by far my best chicken football player.

Oh well, gonna have to trade 'im out. Any problem introducing a new chick(s) to 3-5 week olds?
