Roo & Hen?

[chrismichael]

Bought these chicks as straight run, Seabrights. One has started a comb the other has nothing. I'm thinking I have a rooster and a hen? They are 6 weeks. Thoughts? Thank You!

Red comb at that age means rooster 100%

 

[Cyan Night]

Yep, looks like you have a nice pair there

That is a pair. Pullet on left, cockerel on right

Definitely a hen and roo...they are GORgeous!

Yes you 100% have a pair! These were my girls at that age.

OK! Thanks everyone! The Roo is definitely the boss of all my chicks. He constantly runs around picking on the others, even my light Brahma pullet & she's 3 times his size!!!! I'm guessing it's just playful activity - right? Or will I have to separate him from the others? Are these little guys known to be aggressive? And they both fly great!

The running around is probably just playing but these birds can be aggressive.

Once they "know": they can boss everyone around, thy tend to run the show a little lol (rooster in general, not the breed). Not IMO, they are actually pretty sweet little chickens
