Blocky headed chick - would this suggest roo?

[JustAChickenLoverOverHere]

Ha! Thanks everyone, I was just curious, I know it is way too young to sex, but that fluff, holy cow! I wasn't sure if it might be indicative of an super poof EE roo.



I'm going to be sad when it loses all its peach fuzz.

It's just a super adorable chick!

That is such a serious way to say it

Thank you, thank you.

Agree 100%! It is the most floofy chick I have seen. Adorable.

Just posting an update, Peaches is still quite fluffy, as are two other of the EE's, and I have another thread to follow the development of a BR with very white barring and not really growing a tail. I'm dreading that of the 11 pullets we bought 4 might be roos. They are almost 3 weeks now and the 3 EE's are excessively fuzzy still and no tails

The first two photos are of Peaches, then Fizzy, and the fourth photo has the yet to be named darker chick with its fuzzy butt to the camera.

The last pictures are of the other EE's, same hatch, same hatchery and way more feather development.

Too young to tell at this age but keep us updated as I want to see what this block-headed chick looks like when mature.

Peaches is super mellow and of course my favorite, I'm really really hoping I just have a couple slow growing pullets. The breed and sex was 100% correct from this hatchery last year.

I'm really curious what her head feathers will end up being, she's got some major floof going on still!

Peaches is sprouting barring and getting a little tail growth.

3 1/2 weeks

4 1 /2 weeks, still rocking some major floof and the muffs.

@Rhodebar Lover this is my other EE, it's my favorite and I'm really hoping it is a pullet, but it had slow feather growth like the other two. Most of the pictures are a bit washed out, the closer shot of the wing with the rust flecks is more accurate of the color. The rust flecks are small and it was the fastest feathering of the slow chicks, any hope its a pullet?
