[jjrabbit2]

The chick on left is #1 and on the right #2 These are SLW 3 1/2 weeks old Im guessing #1 is a Roo and #2 is a pullet

Here is a shot of them together BTW these are my first SLW and Im loving them so far!

I agree that number 1 is a roo, and I'd say the jury is still out on number 2. Pretty red for only 3 1/2 weeks. What do #2's wattles look like? The streakiness of #2's back feathering looks more like a roo.

Thanks so much for the input! #1 is really a tuff guy too pouncing on everyone LOL!

Here is a pic of #2 wattles
I didnt think there was any color on 2 only on 1 but that maybe wishful thinking

In the second picture it looks like there's more of a chance of it being a pullet. Are they from a hatchery or a breeder? That can make all the difference in how their lacing is going to be.

They are from Dunlap Hatchery... out of the four I got I think 3 are roos bummer

I am so hopeing for #2 to be a pullet. You have given me hope!
