Updated with pix....

I will post pix if no one can tell me...but I have one Dom that we think is a roo..supposed to be all pullets...but this one has a bright red rose comb and what might be waddles

under the chin?? All the others have smaller lighter color single combs....we think?? ( newbies, you know )
Does this mean that this one chick is a roo?? We hope so cause we already are calling this chick a he...LOL!!

OK...Sorry, should have put pix on first time around. So here are the pix to help you all decide...out of 2 DOM's is one of them a roo?? I took 4 pix in all of the 2. They are the same age...4.5 weeks old .

#1

#2

#3

#4

Thanks for your time!!

Both genders will get wattles but roos typically get them first

Then this one we wondered about must be a roo..cause he is much more developed then any of the others as far as comb and waddles.....Hope the pix tell the tale...

. We are just curious.

# 2 and #3 is the one we think might be a roo. Others are what we think might be a pullet?? Were we even close?? Thanks for looking everyone!

Just FYI...

Waddle is what a duck does when it walks. Wattles are the cute red dangly things under a chicken's chin! This confuses a lot of people, and it makes me smile.

#2 and #3 are roos and #1 might be a roo #4 is a pullet.
