EE roo?

[chickendude9]

I have a 18 day old EE and he/she..seems to be bossy, have bigger legs and is not growing at many tail feathers. He/she also runs around a lot. We just put them in a larger brooder and the EE seems to calm down a little but is going toe to toe with the Columbian Rock. Is this a sign of a roo??

Pictures help a lot...

But no, they could be just playing. I have two pullets who play like that they bump chest sometimes jump around the brooder for the fun of it. Like chick tag or something.

My ee's are almost always the biggest chicks in the brooder. The first time I raised some I was sure they were roo's because of those great big legs too! But they all turned into lovely hens. I think yours is a pullet but give it some time. Little pullets will do the chest bumping thing too.
