Is this a Roo?

[Emilykb15]

I have two 4 week old chicks and I’m starting to think two of them might be roos. Any idea?

white one is a Plymouth Rock
Black one is a Silver laced Wyandotte

any thoughts?

Probably a little early

SLW is, Rock is too early to tell.

SLW is, Rock is too early to tell.

For the SLW is it because the comb is more reddish? I should add this is my first go round with chicks so I’m learning!

I'd say both are, but another couple weeks should tell the tale.

Yes!

What should I watch out for within the next week or two? I should mention that both of these chicks are twice the size of the others that are the same age.

Combs and wattles will get bigger and redder.
