3-4 week old RR... we've been suspicious that s/he is a boy since day one because of behavior and body. Now s/he has a fairly prominent comb that is turning pink, pinking around the wattles, and short tail feathers for the age. Is it too early to tell? We are fine with having one roo in the flock, just curious if you guys agree with us! Was purchased as a pullet from a local grain mill but you know how it goes

I think it may be a boy (I have 6 year olds and 8 12 week olds and none had combs like that so early on) however I don’t have RR chickens so it may depend on the breed. I would post again in a few more weeks when it will be easier to tell.
