Hen or roo?

Help! Is Chick 1 a hen or roo?

7.5 weeks and wattles and comb are more red than the other two. I posted a few days ago but wondering if the consensus has changed. I want to add a roo to the flock but not if I already have one!

Chick 2 for comparison.

This little one is LIKELY male, but I think it is still too early to be certain. You will know within a few more weeks.

The combs look very red...

I know. I’m so impatient! I just have to know!

All birds pictured are pullets.

You can post updated pics in a few more weeks to make sure. I feel quite confident though.

I think chick 1 is roo most likely.

I agree.

I’m going to guess pullet. The wattle and comb are red but don’t seem very developed

 

[Acre4Me]

Pullets is my guess bc I see all rounded saddle feathers. Male specific saddle feathers won’t show up until around 12 weeks of age. Some girls color up more quickly, so while her comb is more red I don’t see much growth in the wattles or the comb.

One week later. Any new thoughts?
