Hen or Roo?

[Heather01]

The chicks in question are the two white chicks- I got them at tractor supply, I forgot which breed, but they are not leghorns. They are about 3-4 weeks old. The one is so much bigger than the other that I am concerned it is a roo. A friend of mine got the same ones and she has one slightly bigger as well. They were supposed to be pullets.

Four weeks is a little early. But that comb, and those legs. I would guess #1 is a cockerel and #2 is a pullet.

Are you sure he’s not a Cornish x? Almost looks like a meat bird.

The first is for sure a cockerel

Pic1 is a male

Pic2 is a female

Unless something got mixed up at tractor supply….I guess I’ll keep on eye out to see how big it gets.

Yeah, you should. I wouldnt be surprised if one little white chick ended up in a bin with other little white chicks, even if they aren’t the same little white chicks
