Hen or roo? 😬

[KHolder]

3 week old Polish chick
(Mom: buff laced Polish, dad: buff laced Polish)

Any ideas if it’s a hen or a roo?
I know it’s probably not possible yet. I’m so anxious to figure this out because this little one has a deformed leg and I just know if it’s a roo I won’t be able to find it a home. We already have one roo and not enough hens for 2.

how many chicks are there really the only way you can tell is as they get 4-5 weeks is generally size which doesn't always work

These are all pictures of one chick. The other chick I have is mixed with my Polish roo and my huff Brahma. That chick is significantly bigger than this Polish chick, but also mixed with a large breed

that's quite a problem why do you assume this one is a roo over the others ordering chicks if possible is the better way

ultimately if it is a roo you might have to figure out a swapping system that works or find a good home for him but at that point I would keep him and give the other older rooster away

im not experienced in gendering chickens there might be someone on here who can tell but that comes with time and skill and is very rare
