Roo

I have 2 Speckled Sussex and we knew 99.9% one was a roo....feathered differently & much slower than the for sure pullet, acted like a roo even from the first day I had them (they were 2 days old). I posted pics of both my SS on a Speckled Sussex forum here and everyone (including at least 2 SS breeders) wanted to know where the pic of the roo was. We took 'him' to the feed store that weekend when we went to get feed and they confirmed 'he' is a 'she'. Miss Piggy, the other SS, had lots of white on her chest when she was young but doesn't now. Miss Piggy is also still bigger than Billie by about 1/3.

This is Billie, the one we thought was a roo, she is about 11 weeks here.

This one is Miss Piggy, about 11 weeks.

When people say these guys ardently hard to sex they aren't kidding.

that's an awfully big red comb and a very rooish stance on that one shot

hope I'm wrong

Have you figured it out for sure yet?

I'm pretty sure it will be eggs, I'm going to put a pic up later today.

Feathers are still looking rounded to me! I'm sticking with my pullet vote.
