BR... Pretty sure roo, but maybe too early to tell

[Tiranni]

I have 2 week old BR chicks, and they all look pretty similar except one.. I have a feeling it's a roo, but wanted to see what others think.

Below pic: he/she is on the left

Thoughts?

Does look rooish to me too. You should know in another 2-3 weeks if that comb turns pink than red.

I agree that it's looking Cockerel to me.

Awww he's so cute!!!! We had a Barred Rock rooster but couldn't tell until he was further along. So in a few weeks, if he looks like this, it's definitely a Roo!

Looks like a cockerel. I have two 8 week old BR pullets and one 13 week old BR cockerel. The pullets are much darker and have dark legs as well. Such a cutie!

Thanks everyone. He is the biggest of the bunch, and also the most friendly and unafraid. I'm kind of hoping he's a rooster, as we do want one in our flock.

I would say he very likely is a cockerel, but you should be able to tell for sure in just a few more weeks

I'm almost 99% certain we have a roo.
