Quote: I was looking to see the full tail and how it holds itself. Sometimes it helps. The coloring looks more pullet to me, but the comb looks cockerel. Hopefully you will get some more opinions. Would be interesting to see how it changes in a week or two. Hope you can post again.

Thanks. I'll post again in a few weeks. The light colored one does hold herself more henish and she is not nearly as aggressive as the Roos we have of the same age. The comb does seem red although not as red as the other one. My bad EE chick is aggressive toward the other chicks but skittish with us. The light one is skittish as well but the roo will come right up and peck us.

Every roo is different some people had roosters crowing while they were chicks and some at almost 6-8 months plus. They are not that loud if you have something to dampen sound like trees, wooden fences, open space. Some roosters are just annoying because they crow too much all day, not just in the mornings like the media portrays it. I had some roosters crowing at 2 am

My guy is awesome 4 months and just starting to sound like a teen boy. He is good with his girls, let's us pick him up, eats from our hands. Just skittish enough . The stories I have been reading about some Roosters are scaring e! He pays no mind to my kids, cats or dog. I hope he stays a happy man. I pray he doesn't use his voice that often. This may sound stupid but I'm new to this. Is it normally as the sun rises they use there voice?
