Okay, here are my three straight run chicks. From a mixed flock (fertile eggs hatched at my son's preschool). They are 6 weeks old and I am starting to think I have two roos. :( We can't keep any roos, so I'm hoping that it's just a matter of breed differences. . .but the white and the BR have significantly larger combs and wattles than the black chick.

What do you all think? And any guesses on breeds while you're at it? :)







 
I hate to say it but you are right, it looks like you have two roo's. the black one appears to be the only pullet
 
Ah man, that's gonna be a bummer. Cuz i'll have to rehome them, plus I don't want to leave my one lady all lonely. These three are such good friends. . .
 
I'd say the black and white is a barred rock roo , the white may be a white leghorn roo and the other is a gold laced Wyandotte pullet (but I'm not 100% on the breeds).
