Help sexing before I rehome. Have to make my decision today. Bantam RIR. 6 weeks. Thinking it's a roo but would be so vexed if i rehomed a pullet!

I've posted elsewhere but not on a dedicated gender thread... Hoping more can weigh in and give me peace over this decision. Have a woman taking a few of my roos (5 out of 7 are boys!) and trying to figure out which ones to bring.

I think you're right and it's a roo

 

[muddy75]

looks like a cockerel to me (i spy sickle tail feathers) and pretty developed comb for the age

 

[Sooner Magnolia]

Agreed. Sorry about those odds!

Thank you! He was our fastest to feather so it wasn't until recently that I suspected roo. I think Cochin roos might be easier to rehome so I'll include this little dude with the ones I'm rehoming today. I read elsewhere on here that RIR roos mature faster than pullets. Not sure if that's true but in this case, it certainly was!
