I have to agree with that - that's one hefty comb for a 6 week pullet

So sorry

 

[keesmom]

Yup, most definitely a roo.

 

[cherylcohen]

so the 99.9% chance....I get the .1 %???

 

[Bandit]

I got 20 chicks from ideal. 2 turned out (so far) to be roos when they were all supposed to be pullets. That's 10%.

 

[keesmom]

I think Rosie should be renamed Rocky. Sorry!

 

[cherylcohen]

Oh I'm sad I really wanted a slw hen

 

[Qi Chicken]

I'm having this same problem....as chicks they were identical. Now I don't even know if they are the same breed! They are supposed to be SLW, both pullets but my spidey-sense tells me that one of these things is not like the other! What do you think?!??!?!?

First two are the hen (I think) and second two are...................
