i will say a roo at this point because the feathers in the crest are pointed but i could be wrong.

these were mine a 6 mos. 1 girl 2 boys it is hard to tell at this age,i sold all of them so not sure if the one i thought was a girl was or not but i keep the the other two longer and they were defiantly roos. But when the are about 8 months it is easier to tell.

My comment on the other thread... Leaning towards roos. How old are they? They have a lot of red if they are as young as they look. The crests on the first two are also very spiky. Can't see the crest on the last one.
