uh oh! is this a rooster?

[jossome]

I know this is PROBABLY a rooster with the larger comb... but is it POSSIBLE that its a girl? One of my other birds has a HUGE comb, and is a girl. But none have the pretty tail feathers like this one. No spurs though! is it POSSIBLE?

The two birds in these pictures are speckled sussex

The one in front looks like a rooster to me. Sorry about that! It has the feather pattern, comb, and tail-feathers of a roo.

The one in front is definitely a rooster.

Dude couldn't be more rooster if he tried. Spurs don't usually really come in on roos until they are older than a year.

I'm very certain the one on the front is a rooster.

Can anyone answer my question about my chicks , red pullets from tsc . I believe the one closest to the front is going to be a hen is growing fast& get rust color , question is about the one towards the back do you think maybe it just slowly changing color or will it be a rooster ?.

Thanks everyone! I didn't know it took that long for spurs to come in! So far he's really well behaved, and likes to be pet and eats treats from my hand. Hopefully he stays that way!
