Only one roo so far?? UPDATE-3 roos now?!

[alliecat2886]

Got my "girls" breeds figured out I think...and now that they are about 4 weeks old I think we might have only one roo so far!! I know I have a gold sex link pullet and red pullet...they are three weeks old. I got three cochins and two are almost fully feathered, while one is barely feathered (looks frizzle too) and has a nice red comb. I also have two speckled sussex or welsummers that look like pullets. I have a random red one that I think is a pullet. And another chipmunk that lookslike a pullet. I also have what I'm hoping is a buff orpington pullet. All these guys (other than the one cochin) feathered very fast and ddon't have much comb. Lemme know whatcha think! Cochins Updated pics- black one is a roo :-( Susex? Updated- one a roo? Chipmunk? (Pea comb) Updated- thinkin hen, any ideas what breed yet?! Red something... Updated- got two, one was sold as red pullet...not sure which? Buff orpington...? Updated pics- still could be roo. Thanks!!

Cochins












Susex?







Chipmunk? (Pea comb)






Red something...







Buff orpington...?








Thanks!!

Out of your cochins I would say that there are 2 roos: The whitish one and the black one. However I am positive that the red cochin is a little pullet, I would also say that it looks like all the other chickens look like pullets

Thanks! While taking the pics I noticed the comb had suddenly turned a lil more red on boots. (Black cochin) it has been small like the reds up until the last day or two. Do you think the black and white is a frizzle? The way the feathers are comin in all crazy? And any ideas on what my chipmunk is?? She is the only one I don't know. That and are they sussex or welsummers?

 

[Clucksworth]

I have no idea what your chipmunk is, but I would say that the other chicks were speckled sussex. I don't think that the white and black chick is a pure frizzle as the wing feathers are quite neat and not pointing outwards or doing anything really crazy, however it could be a crossbreed

Yes the white and black look rooish. Your Buff orp's comb is getting some pink too and might need to keep an eye on.

Thanks! I was slightly worried about the buff. Do you think it looks like a buff orpington? It was in a mixed bin. I got it and the three chipmunks (two are the sussex). The reason I think the black and white looks frizzle is cuz his feathers don't lay flat at all.

 

[alliecat2886]

Any other guess on breed or gender?

 

[alliecat2886]

Bumo for new pics

 

[Chickenclucker]

so any update on if that black and white one is a frizzle?

 

[alliecat2886]

Well if it isn't ...there is something erong with its wings...
