EE 16 weeks roos?

[Omah09]

Here are Elvis (front) and Little Feather (back). A few weeks ago I was told to keep an eye on Elvis that s/he may be a roo. What does everyone think now? S/he is getting aggressive towards the other chickens and up until recently they got along beautifully.

Also what about Little Feather? She was slow to feather and smaller than the other 3 birds. Her first wing feathers curled at the tips but all are now flat. However, her tail feathers are curled. Roo?

Are the curling neck feathers the beginning of hackle feathers?

Another shot of Elvis.

And here's one of Elvis and Little Feather. It's hard to get a good shot of Little Feather's tail.

They both look live hens to me but I am not positive.

Can you get closer, more head-on pics of those combs? Look for 3 rows of 'peas', that indicates roo.

Both pullets

The easter egger pullets we have have a single ridge on their combs, the cockrels have 3 ridges. Yor golden one looks like the ee pullets I have.

Here's another shot of Elvis. Looks like a single row. Can it change?

And here's a shot of Little Feather's curly tail. Little Feather doesn't have much of a comb yet.

So far? Do I have to wait till I get eggs or crowing to be sure?
