Roo? (Barred Rock)

[L&L]

Pics taken at 3 weeks of age. I know it might be a little early still to tell for sure, but...I am thinking this chick is looking undeniably roo-ish, so I would love to hear what some of you think.

Well if the comb and wattles didn't do it for you, you've got proof in the feather color! LOL!

It's a boy!

 

[L&L]

LOL, thanks for the replies. I thought it was pretty obvious. Anyone want a rooster?

he looks identical to our rock koowhen he was that way,
are you you really gonna give him away?
if you ever want a roo he is the one to have
ours is very gentel with kids and the hens

I don't know yet, but I think we might. Besides this little guy, there are still two other rooster "suspects" in our small group of 7 chicks...which would only leave us with 4 pullets, if I am right. We weren't planning to get a rooster so early on, not until we had more hens to keep him happy. And if there are 3 roos...we'll have to decide which one to keep, if any. I do like the BR's though.

Nice little BR boy. Gotta love BR's more often than not the roos are OBVIOUS early. Comb wattles, stance, color all screaming roo by three or four weeks.
