I think I got a Roo!

Thoughts? They are about 4--5 weeks old I think. Hard to get a good shot. He's the larger of the group. Starting to show some pink on the comb and it's a bit larger. The other two are still pale and small.

Those are some pretty chickens!

It does look like a roo. What breed or cross are they?

So here is a more recent picture of the suspected roo. The person I got him/her from said she could just be older but at the time I got them they were all about the same size at 4 weeks old and she's grown more ever since. Developed comb, waddle etc... Everyone else still has pretty pale combs. Also starting to see green tail feathers coming through. Acts dominate. Thoughts? They are about 3 months old now.

Definitely a rooster. Those super shiny and pointed feathers starting to come in on the back are a male only characteristic.

Yes, it looks like a rooster.

Yep it's definitely a roo, it looks like it's the same age as the other two so I don't know what she was talking about.
