Possible Roo?

[HenryHughes]

So I just got some new "pullets", two leghorns and two australorps. They're all about 4 weeks or so old. What's concerning me is that one of the leghorns has already developed a fair-sized red comb and behaves much like an adult rooster. He/She is always seperate from the other three, is almost hyper-active, slightly aggressive, and insanely curious. Unfortunately, if this is a rooster, I will have to find a new home for it as I live in the city. Any ideas on wether or not this is a rooster??

Here is a picture of a 4 week old brown leghorn roo

and here is a link to him crowing at 4.5 weeks!

There was a substantial difference between the roo and the pullets. Post a pic if you're still unsure.

Oh yea!! You can pretty well tell that's a rooster especially at only 4 week old!!!

Hmmm, this picture makes me think he/she is a lot younger than 4 weeks. We bought them at a local pet store chain that didn't even know the breed, much less the age. How long till we'll be able to tell for sure the gender?

Please post a picture of him in the "What Breed or Gender?" topic. You should know when he's 4-5 weeks old.
