Is Janice a Roo?

[daisyterp]

Hi- I got a dozen assorted chicks (should be pullets but I know it’s a crapshoot) from Meyer Hatchery on 7/15 and named them all after OG supermodels. This one bird is a little nutty personality wise (very skittish with me, lots of neck flaring with the rest of the flock) so I named her after Janice Dickinson. Now I am concerned she might be a he.
Comb was much brighter in the morning than in the afternoon after a half day of free ranging- took all of these pictures today but some were in the morning and some later in the day. Comb size and color are concerning, also pretty thick legs and from what I am reading feather pattern. Hard to tell if the hackle/saddle feathers are reliable yet?
Thanks for any insight!

laying down here, so feathers are kind of messed up looking

Hopefully, you can rehome him. There is a rehoming forum here. Local Craigslist or feed store posting?

my 6 yr son would be very excited if we kept him as he has been saying all along if we had one boy then we could have “INFINITE CHICKENS.”

I had to post a photo of my cockerel, Sage. He looks so much like yours! He's 12 weeks old. His tail feathers just started coming in last week, so up until then he had no tail at all!

I don't really see saddle feathering, but I go with roo, that chicken develops so fast

Well, just to put it out there, you will NOT have fuzzy peepers unless you incubate.

and yes, I realize that I would either need to incubate or have a broody hen in order to get chicks- but quite frankly I am not going to explain the finer points of chicken raising to my 6 year old, I just think it’s adorable that he is talking about INFINITE CHICKENS.

Boy, I would bet my life on it.

And I just looked up on the Meyer Hatchery website that the “meal maker” chicks (and of course I checked that box) shipped out that week were either RIR or EE, so Janice is likely an EE roo...

Cockerel. He looks a lot like mine.

He is a beauty though! Most "free chicks" are boys, though I did get a girl once.

Janos, maybe? He's a cockerel.
