New to this. Could these be Roos?

We got 5 pullets on April 23 from the local farm store. The oldest was 2 weeks, youngest was 1 week. We had a cocka-doodle-doo start a few mornings ago. We need help seeing which one it could be! Also: we have 3 inherited hens. Only 2 are laying. 1 stopped laying about a year ago (RIR). Could she be turning male & crowing?

Jules: About 8 weeks old, Ameraucana

Captain: About 9-10 weeks old Rhoade Island Red

Vader: About 8.5-9 weeks,Black Sex Link

C3PO: About 8-8.5 weeks, Ameraucana

Luna: About 7.5-8 wks, Blue Andalusian
(Really hoping it's not her...she's a favorite of many especially my chicken whisperer 11 year old - very attached!)

Hi there.

Usually males will get a redder comb first, and it's hard to see the combs on some of your birds. Can you post a single face shot on each bird? Especially your Easter Eggers, which were sold to you as Ameraucana.

My money is on C3PO or Captain as your culprit...

Me too. Want comb closeups before I make my guess.

And I want to see the tail bases...

As in looking for saddle feathers?

Yep! Almost looks like either/or has some, but can't see clear enough...

C3PO

Vader

Captain

Luna

Jules is tricky to get pictures of & honestly have a hard time in pictures deciding if it's Jules or C3PO darker back feathers change in pictures based on light but here are the best 2 I have.

Let me know what more you need & I'll work on getting pictures of it tomorrow

Hmmm... still hard to tell...

But I will say, Vader and Luna are pullets, no worries...

Still think it's C3PO or Captain... C3PO's comb is pinkest, but something about Captain keeps making me wonder...
