Roo or a Hen?

[Homeschool hatcher]

These guys are 6 weeks old and very close to moving outdoors, what do you think these two are? Roo or a hen?

Cockerel,
based on comb/wattle size and redness, and feather color.

1 is a cockerel. 2 is a pullet

 

[Homeschool hatcher]

Both of them?

 

[orloffer]

Oh, I didn't see #2.
Edit: #2 doesn't have anything too cockerel-ish yet, but it is a little young to tell.

The Plymouth Rock isn't the same age as the mix right? Cause the Plymouth does have quite a big spot on it's head and does look quite young, the mix #1 does look like a cockerel for sure though

I bought them both together from a supplier when they were babies so I assumed they were the same age

The two on the right is what they looked like when I got them

They are adorable! Well, I would still wait a bit on the smaller chicken.

If they start crowing as young as mine did, you will know by next week. The one on the left definitely looks like a Cockerel according to the comb
