suspected wyandotte roo

[nutmeg2356]

Hello everyone!
My babies are 6 weeks old this week. Since about week 3, I've had my suspicions that one of my 2 wyandottes is a rooster. The 2 wyandottes look completely different from each other, and one has begun to "fluff" when I go by their area.

Today I moved them to their coop and let them play around in the enclosed run while I set up the food/water/etc, and my neighbors dog started barking. The chickens all ran to one corner of the run, except the chick that I suspect is a rooster, which ran towards the side of the run the dog was near and seemed to "protect" the other chicks and very fearlessly fluffed her/his feathers.

here are some pictures of the wyandottes:








The one I think is a roo:








Let me know your thoughts!

Shoot- thats what I thought! He has begun to be quite the bully, so maybe this isn't a bad thing, lol

and is it the one that I listed as being the one I suspected to be the roo?

I wouldn't write this one off yet. The lacing seems to be pretty even and usually with Wyandottes that's a better indicator than comb. Behavior can help support things but I wouldn't go by that either. My SLR Wyandotte was a bit of a stinker at the start. She calmed down a lot after she started laying. For now I would say it could go either way but I lean more toward pullet.

The pattern over the wings is more spotty on the one I think is a roo
