1) Is this a roo?
I got what I thought was six Easter Egger pullets, but one is developing a very more defined pea comb. And another one inspired my first thread on here, as it is becoming very obvious that chick is NOT an Easter Egger (biggest in the flock, bigger than my BOs and Red Sex Links). So I have five Easter Eggers, and four of them are very obviously different from number five. Am I right that the fifth one is a roo?
This first four images are my (same age, btw) pullets (I assume anyway):
Here is the one that I am questioning (he? is also in the last picture above, with the black pullet):
2) Is this a Sex Link Roo?
I was told it was when I got it from the feed store, but most pictures I see of them show a good bit more color. I have two of them, btw, but only got pictures of one of them. they are almost identical. One has a single black feather on the underside of the wing. Both have a VERY few stray feathers that look more like someone pooped on their wing feathers than any patches of real color. Both are younger than the Sex Link hens I got, by a week, maybe ten days. They are noticeably smaller than the hens still. They are right at 8-9 weeks old.
Is their color typical of Golden/Red Sex Link roos? Or are we dealing with another mislabeled breed?
The one that let my photograph him is below, but as I said, the two roos are virtually identical in color:
Light peppering of dirt brown color on wing feathers. This is the only area he has non-white feathers. The other roo has one blackish feather on the underside of his right wing.
