Help! Is my 4 week old EE a roo?

[zindel610]

I know it may be to early to tell, but hopefully someone knows, is this EE a rooster? Very dominant, bright red comb at 4 weeks, tail feathers standing up high, legs are very thick compared to our other girls... Thanks!

My guess is roo. I've been looking at a lot of pics of EE roos vs. pullets today because I'm trying to determine if one or two of my 5 week olds are roos, and yours sure looks a lot like a cockerel based on what I've seen.

Thanks Jen I hope not but I think you are right....

With that much red already, I'm afraid it has to be a roo.

Whoa. He has huge waddles already. He's a roo.

Definitely a cockerel

A roo for me too, sorry

LOL I thought it had huge wattles too, but its actually someone's finger! Still lots of red going on, so I say roo

Thanks everyone! I think y'all are right, I'm a first time chicken raiser and was not sure, but I had a hunch... Oh, and yes sorry that is my finger

Just a follow up to let you know you were all correct! He is a Roo. This is Bunny all grown up at his new home. Thanks again!
