Is Doodle a Roo?

[carebear123]

We have 3 barred rocks and 3 rhode island reds. They are about 5 weeks old, and I am afraid that Doodle is a roo. What do you all think??

 

[AccentOnHakes]

I would have to agree.

Lol we were hoping that maybe he was a different breed that got mixed in somehow. Too bad cuz he's sweet as a button! Thanks for the quick reply,

I'd say he's a cockerel.

Cockerels are often the most precocious as chicks.

What is hilarious is my step son named him Doodle as in cock a doodle do. He thought the grey ones were boys and the red ones were girls, and Doodle had a bigger spot on his head and stood out more.
Thanks for all the replies!
