Hen or roo? Ideal 236

[HENS-and-MARES]

I recently got and ideal 236 chick and the place I bought it from told me that their pre gendered, all females, the thing is my chick already has an overwhelmingly large comb, they're a little over 2 weeks now, maybe three weeks. I have two others in a separate router that are 4 weeks older and yet this chicks Crest is already huge compared to them. My question is; could this be a a roo or is it just part of the breed to have larger combs at a younger age?



Thanks ahead of time!View attachment 2465932

That would be an under cover bantam rooster.

Don't be sorry! I wasn't planing on replacing my old roo this soon (he just passed a few days ago) but i guess it was just a convenient coincidence

Yes, i

Hi and welcome to BYC! That's definitely a little cockerel. Will you be able to keep him where you live?

I have already looked into all the zoning law's, he should be fine as long as i keep him from showing to much aggressive behavior (im my area an aggressive rooster is see the same way as a rabbied dog)
