Two 11 week EE's. roo or hen?

[nittanyxi]

Here are two of my 11 week old EE's

Anyone have an opinion if they are roo's or hens?

If you think it's a roo please let me know how confident you are because I'm going out of town soon and I'm not alowed to have roos. Dont want to take a chance of it starting to crow while I'm away.

I have 3 pics of each bird.

Your first one I'm pretty confident is a boy, the second appears to be a girl.

anyone think there is any chance the first one could be a hen?

I thought my 9 week old EE was a hen, but "she" has been crowing, and after posting pics, everyone told me, roo...here's a pic of her:

I still wonder, but she crows like the boys, and chest bumps them, like all my other roos do..."fighting" I suppose...

One of my other roos, now you can see why I was confused, see how large his comb is? This top one, none....

the color patern on both SCREAM im a roo if you whant to be for shure look for pointed sadel feathers coming in if the are then you know 100% that it is a roo

the feathers are what finally did it for me...when "she" would go after the other roos, those feathers would "hackle" up., just like a roo! any of that behavior in yours? You can't trust the comb, that is for certain.

Agreed. The first one is for sure a cockerel. I think the second one is a cockerel as well, but I see the previous posters do not think so.

There's always the chance that it can be an early maturing hen, but odds are you've got a boy. The comb and feathers are saying rooster.
