is this chick a roo????

[chickencity]

this chick is suppose to be a golden sexlink pullet. it was hatched the same day as the others. but it is so much smaller and doesn't have as many feathers. here are some pics.

My guess would be it is a roo. You will know for sure in a couple of weeks. Watch the comb on it and watch for some pink wattles to start dropping below the beak.

Edited to add: I just saw the fourth picture that is not a roo.

my question is about the the little sexlink. i but the 4th pic in there to show the diffrence between it and the others. it came out of the pullet box.

THat is kinda weird how it's feathering is so behind the rest....there isn't a good head shot to really say...how old is it?

Yes that is the one I was saying is a roo.

Roos in some breeds feather out slower then pullets.

Sexlinks are one of the breeds. Can you keep him if it is a roo?

im not real sure. i would like to keep him but im sure my neighboors would not like it at all. But if i cant keep him im sure the people that live by my barn would take him. they have chickens that free rang all day.
