My chicken Vivian is quite a bit larger than her "sister" Esmerelda, and I got them together when they were both a day old. Some of her feathers also look longer. These are my first chickens, and I was wondering if there is a chance that she is a rooster. She didn't want to hold still today, so these aren't the best pictures, but please give me your opinions! Thanks!

They look like my pullets! and I have a roo to compare with, his is much lighter in color, with a bigger comb.

Yay, I'm glad to hear that. I was hoping that they would both be pullets. And yes kellykate, I do love them...they are really sweet babies!

Definitely a pullet. Too dark to be a roo. Dominiques are like barred rocks right, the hens are a lot darker then the roosters? If so, then its a hen.
