New Flock of Chicks

[MamaNetty]

Hi,
I have four chicks is my new flock. Two are Buff Orpington and two are Plymouth Rock. One of the Plymouth Rock "hens" may indeed be a rooster. They are three weeks old today. They look virtually the same, except for the comb on one is slightly larger than the other. It actually has a little pinkish tone to it. This one also has a larger white spot on its head than the other. With the exception of the comb they look fairly similar. Do you think it is a rooster?

Not sure if I am posting this correctly...please excuse.

Welcome to BYC.
It's best to show, rather than describe, your birds by posting photos. ...this allows us to see them rather than trying to imagine what they look like and possibly getting it wrong.

Hi, welcome to the site. Pictures always help. There's a real chance of a roo or it could be an early bloomer. No way to tell at this age.

I'm having trouble actually getting a good photo of these chicks...will keep trying. Thanks for your responses.

Hello! Welcome to Byc!! It's great to have you!

Will attempt uploading several files with pics of this chick that is 4 weeks old. The chick I'm referring to is at the top --the Plymouth Rock. The head is smoother already...she originally had a larger white spot on the top of the head. The chick to the left had a smaller white spot. Both of their legs are the same color.

Hello! Welcome to Byc!! It's great to have you!
