See the little ball bump on the top of the comb area? Does that mean roo?? or is it just a bump lol

no it doesn't mean roo, my slw's had that too, scared me for a while lol

Well darn was kinda hoping but since two of them have them and one really doesnt I was thinking maybe. I want one roo..but not two or three. I dont want to cull but I will have to I know sooner or later.

I would definately wait a few more weeks.

You mean before I wack um?

Might make a nugget at this point lol. I wont cull if I have more than one rooster till I find the nicest one. Its really hard to hate chickens enough to make dinner. I want one who is not going to terrorize my kids also.

SLW roos are known to be mean, I had 2 beautiful SLW pullets that came into laying, but I sold them not long after because they were mean and loud. lol

I do hope that this won't be the case for you. Good luck.

Hmm. Our SLW roos have been docile and sweet, and they even get along with our Buff Orp roo. Go figure.

Wait a few more weeks and see what literally develops. If you end up with a bunch of roos, you could always post notices on Craigslist and at your local farmers supply or feed store instead of culling them. Surely someone near you might want one for breeding or for flock protection...
