Really? I guess you really never know what gender you are getting even if the bin says girls there is always a possibility they could be boys mixed in. Are you keeping red? I really hope mine are all girls. Because I hate to have to get rid of one. But it seems like I have a roo...

Oh my, look at those tree trunks!

Boy IMO.

Are you keeping red?

Yes, we're keeping him. We weren't looking to have a roo, but knew out of 20 chicks we were most likely going to get one. Besides, he a handsome little guy.

He is handsome! He will turn out to be a nice little rooster! I am glad he is nice, mine is SO mean! Maybe it will just take some time, I guess I would be a little cranky if I was being chased around the brooder by a huge hand too!

Here are some more pics I took today. They didnt come out too well because my flash made it too bright, but I will try to take better pics tomorrow. I noticed today that he/she is getting more red around the face...

Here are a bunch of new pictures I took today...

See his wattles?!

A wing shot. We cut his wings so thats why the first few feathers are shorter.

EDIT: I forgot to say that he is much thinner and taller then all of the other birds if that makes a difference. Thanks again.

Thanks for all the replies.

Hi, here's a pic of my Production Red pullet for comparison....She is 6 weeks old. Yours has a bigger, thicker comb and it's red.....looks like a cockerel.

 

[sunny & the 5 egg layers]

Oh no, does that mean my other production red is a cockeral too?! Below is a picture of my other production red, Sunny.

Her comb is slightly bigger then chickinlickin8's. But is not even close to my other production red.

 

[Celtic Chick]

Not necessarily. I have 5 production reds, and their combs were all red when they were 6 -8 weeks.

When will he start to go cocka-doodle-doo? I kind of want to hear him Cocka-doodle-doo before I give him away, just to make sure it is a cockerel.
