Black australorp 3wk old

I know chicks develop at different rates but I am curious to see what y'all think.

I bought these chicks at TSC on April 24 and they had just gotten them that day so I predicted them to be about 2-3 days old by that point.

Anyway, I'd like to get your take on whether this baby is a cockerel. Like I said before, I know they develop differently but I'm curious. I don't care if it's male or female because we have plenty of room for them to roam (still in the process of building a bigger coop).

i am leaning toward roo on chick one . that a big comb for a 3 to 4 day old chick

They were 3-4 days old on April 24. But I agree, chick one's comb is very pronounced compared to the other.

Cock-a-doodle-doo that is a roo. I am glad you have room for him. They are beautiful roosters by the way.

Yes, it does look like a roo.
