One of my farm store chicks started growing a comb and wattle before anyone else, so pretty sure I got a roo. Wanted to get some additional opinions. Age is currently around 16 weeks, assuming this one was a few days old when at the farm store.
Head: (This pic was from a few days ago, was just the best one I had for showing comb and wattle. The inflammation and injury to the ear is looking much better today)
Body:
Bit of a better shot of neck:
Votes for Pullet:
What appears to be hackles and saddles at a glance are rounded feathers.
Has not crowed
Rather low on the pecking order
Rooster performs the wing dance to this one, does not fight back.
Votes for Roo:
Large red comb and wattle
No eggs (currently nobody from this batch is laying at this age, to my knowledge)
