Hi all. I'm new & raising chickens & the forum & just posted in new member intro forum. Now I'm asking for help. Got my chickens from a local lady. Got 1 Barred Rock pullet, 1 Leghorn pullet & was suppose to get 3 more pullets & 1 roo, Red sex link or RIR. One is a roo for sure, knew from day 1 by his comb & waddles & overall stance & behavior. Two I'm pretty sure are pullets but there is one I'm not sure about. It's comb & waddle has just started to develop more than the other pullets & looks more like the roo in the tail area but it is also quite a bit darker in color than the other reds. Comb & waddle is still pale so not sure if it is a roo or just a different breed strain.If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. I got them at 10 weeks so they are about 12 in this pic which I took yesterday. With my city ordinance I can only have 1 crowing rooster & would rather find out sooner than later before the kids get too attached

I was stumped on this one for a bit, but I think I have the answer! I think he is a cockerel. Simply because he/she has the look of a rooster in his feathering, his comb, and his waddles! Keep praying it could be a pullet!
