Is this my Rooster? 2.5 wks. old

Well, this Barred Rock chick is two and a half weeks old now. Here is the previous post when it was a few days old.

This is from Cynthia's Dutch and Holly.

What do you think?

Edited to say weeks (thanks, R.)

I think you mean 2 and 1/2 weeks

I think it looks like a roo

But very SUPER cute

Looks like a cockerel to me, judging by that big, pink comb.

Here are my BR or BSL packing peanuts, 17 days old:

Wow...if that bird is 2.5 years old...I want some of his genetics in MY flock! LOL!!!!

Looks like a male to me!

You guys are so funny! I was on the phone with my grandson who is 2 years old, and I am VERY old, so.....

Good catch!!

Yep, HE was hatched by Ellie's Lacy from eggs I sent her across the country. Ellie, you have your rooster, for sure now.

Whoo Whooooooo! Thanks, Cyn. I am so very excited now.

My long awaited Roo from Hawkeye stock. Couldn't get better.

Oops, Jossanne, I forgot to say thank you for the pictures. That helps. I am trying to learn how to tell the difference like you folks do.

Definitely a little boy. It think barred's combs turn red quicker than other breeds...at least that has been my experience. I can usually tell on them within 10 days.
