Helpp!! Do I have a roo in my bunch? This is a Blue laced Barnevelder!

Not quite sure. Does it have any signs of a waddle growing?

Probably. That's an awful lot of comb.

I would wait to see if it gets a waddle or a bigger comb. Sometimes you just gotta wait it out and it's horrible. I'm doing it right now with one of my "pullets." If it is a cockerel and you can't keep it I recommend going to local farms to see if they'll take him.

I don't know how much bigger a comb a chick would have at 5 weeks. Pullets are usually flat or near flat to their head at that age, plus yellow not pink.

My chicks are 3 1/2 weeks and one of my females comb is almost that big. I do have a suspected cockerel though and his comb is HUGE and red although every breed is different.

Are you chicks you're referring to Barnevelders?
