#2 is a little suspicious though.. Can you get a better photo of his/hers combs and wattles?

Is this my #2 or someone else's???

Help please! I have 2 chicks in question. First is a 4-5 week old New Hampshire red I'm thinking is a roo?
Number two is a buff Orpington about 3-4 weeks old. In the pic he's the first buff chick right behind the black few. Also he/she is sitting next to its sister whose half the size

Birds in question are both cockerels. Sorry.

No worries! I appreciate your help. Here's the bird in question, although I'm not sure what wattles and stuff are. Lol

The wattles are the reddish skin "flaps" under the beak. The comb is at the top of the head.
Your chick is looking a bit rooish. Keep an eye on it.

I'm having mixed feelings. I think roo because of the pinnkish red colored comb, but I also see the potential of it being a pullet. Give it a few weeks then share an updated picture of him/her.

Thank you! Definitely will do. We already lost two of our reds who were definite Roos from our flock and were devastated (they're illegal in our city d/t zoning.) I'm really hoping to have at least 1 or 2 pullets from each breed.

I'm begining to think this bantam (possibly D'Anvers) is a young cockerel. About 5 weeks in age. Both pictures are the same bird.





Just wondering what you think.

Thanks
