We thought this may be a roo too

Wait a bit longer, those white ones can surprise you! If you look a bit further up, the white photobomber chicken in my picture had me convinced she was a Roo. She was more outgoing and that comb was soooo much more pink than the others. Needless to say, Spiderman turned into MJ and lays a pretty sage green egg!

This white one looks to be a rooster

This one I cant decide, I want to say rooster but I think its too early to tell.

All the other pics you posted so far look like pullets to me.

Another 2 weeks and you should know for sure. Definitely post more pics as they grow.

Hi, my name is Lena. We have 8 EE chicks. It's our first time raising chickens. I can't wait to find out how many pullets and how many roos we have. We'll have to rehome the roos

here they ate at about 4 weeks.

If it helps, I was able to tell my roo at 4 weeks. We can't keep them either.
Here's a pic of him.
His comb is MUCH pinker/redder than my other 2 EEs and he's getting some pretty reddish and black/green feathers in

2nd pic is definitely a roo..


Same thing happened to me. All were supposed to be pullets and the one that looks just like the one in your picture started crowing one day.

I agree the one in the second picture is no doubt a cockerel

The reason it is a cockerel is the red comb and the pointy saddle feathers. Those long skinny pointy feathers by the base of the tail ate usually the first indication. If you look close at the others they should be shorter and blunt. Combs on a female won't redden until point of lay.
Hope this helps!

That last post was meant to reply to the last roo question. Oops, missed a page of reading!
