Hi guys, what dyu think? The only one we're not sure of!

I think prob roo

This chick is 3 months old now, any guesses? No comb or waddles yet.

More of Gracey. 17-18 weeks. (I don't know for sure.)

No streamers, right? My roosters' heads look a lot different.


Back of neck. Looks like a hen neck to me?


She has TINY feet and legs.


She was upset after being separated from Sunflower (pullet) and Willow (rooster).


Tiny comb, just now getting a bit bigger, but only very slightly. This is a bad angle because her crest doesn't look round, but it is.



Size comparison to Willow, a rooster. Same age.


Size comparison to Sunflower, a pullet who is about two weeks younger than Gracey.

Gracey, right?

I feel SO relieved! I thought I ended up with three out of three roosters at first! I was so upset! (that's why we went and got Sunflower)

I'm glad for you, that would've been disappointing!
