Calling BRAHMA experts! Please tell me Tiny is a she...**UPDATE**

[crazy4chix]

I am certainly no expert but I think that is a roo! We also bought 4 chicks from a feed store last year. They were "98% guaranteed" to be pullets. Three out of the four were roos! Tiny has tall legs and a long neck like a roo. Tiny is huge!

If s/he doesn't turn out to be a girl wait until it crows to rehome. by then tiny will be all feathered out and easier to rehome.

We'll give Tiny as long as we can, I just figured he would be crowing (or at least practicing) in about two weeks if he truly is a he.​

Not necessarily, I have a chicken everyone says is a roo and he's not even thinking about crowing at 12 weeks old /shrug. Some chickies mature slower than others..

yeah my 5 week old EE is looking pretty roo-ish but hasn't attempted to crow and doesn't pick on the girls either so I really hope that mines a girl seeing as roos are illegal where i live too. I hope you have a girl!

My cochin roo (and he is DEFINITELY a roo) didn't start crowing until almost 6 months old. And he's a very manly man roo, too - not a late bloomer 'is it a he or a she'.

Thanks for all the input and support! I'll probably repost for final opinions in two weeks, but I'll keep the hope alive until it's definate. Whenever that is...

Ok, Tiny at 7 weeks... Any additional input would be welcome.

This is Tiny standing just about side by side with Salsa (Silver Spangle Hamburg). For a better idea of his/her size.
