I don't have a little roo, do I?

I believe it is the other way around. Pullets feather faster than roos. I would guess based on the feathering, and the length of her tail, that it is a girl. But it is still to early to really tell. I have 2 - 3 week old and 11 - 2 week old Buff Orp's in my brooder right now, and I am trying to figure out what it what. I have started tagging the ones that I think are girls with pink zip ties, based on how they are feathering out, so we will see if I am right or not.

yes i would like to know for sure as well. i tried to tell once but it was last year and i couldnt remeber for sure. where did you get the pink zip ties? i would like to get something to mark some of my chicks as well. its a good idea!! or do you know if i used a non toxic marker could i just make a dot on their leg?
