Hen or Roo?

[Salt Creek Coops]

Hi! I bought several baby chicks from Orscheln last week. I’m starting to think one of these babies is a rooster. They were supposed to all be hens. I am not sure how to tell. I’ve heard the wing shape…?

Breed? You can’t feather sex generally unless they are bred to be able to do that.

Most chicks have to wait to guess gender until 6-12 weeks.

It is pretty common to get a surprise boy.
Iv'e seen one or two people get one.
