Could it be a roo in the making?

So yesterday brought home 5 new chicks. I have been curious about 1 of them. Do I have a roo?

Darth Molly ( or could it be a Darth Maul ?)

Getting indivdual and better shots this evening ( boy I have too much time on my hands! )

Almost impossible to sex week old chicks. imho.

Do you know why the comb area is so open like that? Darth Molly's comb area is the only one like this. The others have the comb bumpies forming already.

Too young to tell.... Sorry.

Looks like a rose comb. Is that a Wyandotte?

If it's a pea comb the answer is more likely than not. If it is a boy in the next week or so it will start turning pink. Sometimes boys can develop rooish features much faster than others. It makes it much easier

On the other hand, if it doesn't turn pink it could be a pullet.

Id like to see pics in a couple of weeks if you have time to post them

I have EE'..s that are 3 1/2 weeks old. And just now I am being able to tell which are roo's. The pea combs are so small, but they are starting to get some color. For me, It is the tail feathers that are a dead give away.
