Is this EE a Roo?

[taylorashleyd]

My chicks are about 5-6 weeks old right now and I'm getting suspicious I have a roo in the group. Here are some pictures:


The one in the middle is the one I'm worried about


Not much of a comb going on, but the tail feathers are different from the other two


In the middle again.

Sorry for the crummy pictures. All I had was a cellphone at the time. I couldn't get them to sit still long enough for a face picture. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am hoping it isn't a rooster since we can't keep one were we live, so I will just have to hope whoever I give him to is honest and doesn't turn him into chicken stew. He/She is a gorgeous bird with goldish feathers. Probably the prettiest of the flock so it will be sad to see it go.

I would say pullet. Better pictures would help, though.

Nothing manly looking yet, but I agree better pics would seal the deal.

I see all pullets so far. Post pics again in two weeks.

Here is the best comb shot I could get:

Then this is just a bonus. I was clucking like a chicken to get its attention and this photo made me laugh. "What the heck are you doing lady?"

Oh, now I'm thinking maybe roo.

The prettiest ones always are, sadly.

Well I will post some more pics in two weeks. If nothing else our local chicken club has a chicken relocation program so maybe I can find a good home for it. And maybe I'll go pic up two Barred Rocks because I don't think just two hens will warm each other enough through winter.

Pullet.
