Well, here's hoping that your chick is a pullet, and that my pullet grows into a broody!

Here are some SS pics. They are 7 weeks old. Do you think either might be a roo?

Well, they are 7 weeks in the most recent pics, some are from earlier

I think they look like hens to me!

Hmm. I had one pullet and two roos. I still have one pullet and one roo, and at 12 weeks old, my pullet stilldoes not have this much pink in her comb. I'm voting roo, on this one at least.

ETA: Here is one of my roosters when he was 7 weeks old. You can see the similarities.

I couldn't find a picture of my pullet at that age, but here she is at 11 weeks. Her comb is still very pale.

BUT - that said, your birds are from a different source, no doubt, and perhaps they mature at a different rate.

I guess we'll find out - post when you know for sure so we can all learn!

I will do that. Thanks for the advice and pics. That was the one that I had my eye on too. I thought it looked awfully pink for how young "she" is. I guess we will see.
