Is this lighter Sapphire Gem chick a Roo?

Little rooster update.

There weren't supposed to be any roosters but we are happy to have him. So far out of our group of 15 pullets he looks like the only cockerel.

About 5 weeks

Here is one of the girls for comparison.

Around 6 weeks

Almost 9 weeks old and trying to crow. Starting to have patches of barring on his wings.

Looking forward to seeing him as an adult.

He’s a cutie!

Bill at 11 weeks and the Sapphire girls for comparison. Nora from today, the one giving a crazy look, and Mara, the darker one, from last week.

Bill is a handsome roo.
Are you sure Nora is a girl?

Bill is a handsome roo.
Are you sure Nora is a girl?

Thank you! We love him. Never expected him to turn out so handsome.

I'm pretty sure. If she is indeed a Sapphire Gem, she didn't have a head spot, doesn't have barring and her legs are dark. Her comb and wattles seem to be coming in at the rate of our Barred rocks that all appear to be girls and Mara's doesn't have as much color yet. Most of them have started to turn reddish in the last week or two.
I see why you asked though, let's hope so. 15 is more than enough right now, and I told my husband if anyone else turns out to be a rooster we have to get more

She’s a girl! And the boy turned out cute.

I have 5, but the one I'm ? about did not have the prominent spot, and at almost 13 wks, comb and wattles we're not as big as your roo at a younger stage. Has not even attempted to crow yet, still sounds like the other pullets. Still wondering about the gender.

Here they are this week if that helps to compare. They are 13 weeks old also. He's been getting more shiney dark patches of feathers and more barring.
He's been crowing for about 5 weeks now.
