Okay, so I know it should be obvious by now, but jury is still out on this one. I have already rehomed my two other obvious roos from this hatch, and have just this guy left that I'm not sure about. Everyone thought roo when I posted younger pics, but I'm not convinced. "He" has a straight comb instead of rose, which makes it look more prominent than my known hens, and he is the largest chick from this hatch. But I don't have any roo looking feathers coming in, and actually think the feathers look very hen like. There is no roo like behavior, and no crowing (obviously, or I wouldn't be asking). There is a lot of vocalization, but it is a cluck, not a crow. Any guesses? It's either a slow to mature roo, or a slightly masculine looking hen.
Most recent pics.




Thanks for any help!
 
Oh, yeah! I was so hoping she would be a hen, even though everyone thought roo when she was younger. I think the straight comb threw people off. I don't mind the comb, b/c I'm not going to be breeding her, and she is the calmest/sweetest from our hatch. Thanks for the input!
