Rooster?

[Shawnstve]

I’ve got 3 cockoo maran chicks, and I read the rooster will show signs early on by lighter feathers. They were supposed to be sexlinked at tractor supply, but I’m suspecting one is a rooster. Here are pics of two of the cockoo’s…. As you can see the comb is more pronounced also on the one I think is a rooster. I believe they were pretty new born when I bought them, maybe a couple days old, that was about 3 weeks ago. So I’d say at most 4 weeks old?

That’s what I thought. So weird how tractor supply called them sexlinked and they were supposed to be hens…. Not sure what to do, I’ve got two with the lighter color markings, and one darker. Can’t keep 3 roosters and also 2 male Guinea (two of the Guinea I believe are male also). I ended up with 5 males and 6 females out of the 11 I got from tractor supply. Granted the Guinea weren’t sexlinked. Haha!

TSC is infamous for always labeling males as pullets.

Ok here is a photo of the comb on this chicken, you can see it’s much larger than the comb of the other.
