I have asked around a little and the consensus is that this is a roo, but I wanted to check here to see if I should hold out hope or not. I ordered from a hatchery that vent sexes the chicks (obviously, I know this is not 100%). I noticed it's comb sprout and then things started clicking. This one is the least sociable. I think it's posture and strut is slightly different. It started off as the bravest for treats and such, but now just sit back and waits. hHowever, there are a few things that still have me questioning it. I actually ordered 2 bunches so most of my chicks are 6 weeks, but a few are 5 weeks (this one is 5 weeks). It is definately the smallest chick I have, even out of my 5 weekers. It is not where near the size of my buff orpington. I also see no signs of spurs development and even my hens have a dot there. So, I'm not sure. This is also my first time owning chicks, so I'm just curious if there is anything else that gives me a definite on this one yet.
