Subaru, we suspected around 2 weeks was a roo. He's smaller than his hatchmates, probably due to his parentage (blue wheaten Ameraucana dad x ermine amerucana/BCM mom) he's the grey colored one, tried to get different shots

He is a rooster, yes? Want to make certain before finding homes

9 weeks old. Hatched March 15, did have a week of corid. No attempted crowing yet.

Thanks!

He looks like a cockerel. The tail is curling a lot and some of his other feathers look pointy, on top of a red/big comb. How he's not the dominant roo (Survivor is), that could be why he's smaller and being delayed. If left away from the other cockerels for awhile, he might show more dominance (age can be a factor as well). If this was my bird, I would wait a little longer to be 100% sure.

We keep talking about trying to keep him, as we know just because we keep him, doesn't mean he'll be a good fit.

And on the dominance aspect, Subaru has always been "more" out there, pecking, food, and whatnot. Survivor not so much, but Survivor has been cooing at food. Hubby and I have seen all three boys chase each other and others. They were hatched same day same clutch, the lady we got them from said Subaru's mom is her smallest hen, it's just weird the size difference lol
 
These are from Yesterday Fri, 10(eta counted wrong!) weeks old. We are still not convinced either way. Hubby says pullet. I say I dunno! Lol we'll see if Subarua lays an egg in a few weeks or crows haha

My parents had an EE pullet who went through a phase where she had a slightly curly tail, so I honestly feel like it could go either way? That pink comb might made me lean a bit roo. I would definitely wait on this one.
