Female Or Male?

I agree, that's a roo. Let's hope he grows up to be gorgeous and well tempered!

I hope so too. My partner and I have agreed to keep one roo so we will just see how many there is and how their attitude is then make the decision who goes. Then do it over again. Im capping my flock at 8 until a 2nd coop or bigger coop is introduced. At the moment im at 1 Pullet and 7 chicks.

Ohhh yesss. So the one with the pink comb is taller and skinner then the other. And now you mention it im sure I have 1 Rhode Island Red roo out of my 3. Its taller with a pink comb and has white cheecks and top of its wings.

You know Road Island Red is a sexlink breed. My roo had a more developed comb and was red including the waddles at three weeks old.

Maybe they all could be pullets but ill be super surprised if it is. But as I said ill be keeping all my chicks roos or not until they show aggressive behavior. Just curious.

RIRs are not sex-linked! Even the hatchery 'orange' ones aren't.
