Yes, those would be Roos. What age are they, my Roos got combs and wattles at 2 weeks and all my girls had some tiny redish wattles at four weeks,
So many people seem to be asking about the sex of their birds. I think all lines may be somewhat different, mine are a mix of lines and certainly I have trouble sexing birds sometimes too...but from my experience, when you have at least 10 chicks or so to compare...the first to show color or get bigger combs or wattles are always cockerels. There may be some cockerels that are late bloomers but the ones that color up first are your definite roos. It's testosterone that gets those combs and wattles to grow and turn red and you just aren't going to see that on pullets sooner or as soon as your earliest developing cockerels. Later on it can get confusing especially if you have birds a few weeks apart in age as a fast developing pullet can be confused for a slow developing cockerel. If anyone has seen anything different with their birds please let me know, but otherwise I think this is good advice.
