About five weeks ago, I picked up four pullet chicks from Wilco - two Easter Eggers and two Speckled Sussex. I know that they are about 90% on the sexing accuracy scale so I'm wondering if I have myself a roo. Over the past two weeks, one of the EEs has gotten HUGE. She/He was exactly the same size as the other EE when I got them. I am assuming that they were about a week old when I picked them up as their little wings were just starting to feather out. I know that EEs can vary wildly so perhaps she is just an enormous hen, but thought I would throw some pics out there to see what you all think! There are photos of the day I brought them home as well as some from this evening.
The photo with both EEs (with my hand in the way) has the bird in question on the right. The little one on the left is actually standing on a roost and is barely taller!
Thoughts?
