I'm pretty sure spurs develop over time. My 14 week old Roos dont have them yet I keep looking. Here's one of my buffs with my rir roo. They're about 12 weeks here. So I think u have a roo!!

I have 5 English/American BBS Orps and thought I had 4 girls and 1 boy. NOW...I'm thinking I may have 2 roos. I'm wondering about the splash? What do you all think? Roo?

Here is another shot...this shows the splash with the one I know is a roo....

Sigh....I have such troubles uploading pictures...I'll try again!

ok...I can't get the other picture on...but if you can see the two and let me know...I am thinking the comb is very pink for a pullet?

hmmm...I think 8 wks. now. The size of the splash is much smaller than the black roo. The legs are not as thick. BUT...the comb is larger and pinker than the girls.
