See, that's how much I knew. I thought ALL breeds of roos got spurs. I also figured they would be rather obvious, especially by a few weeks old. So I kept looking at my girls feet and not seeing any spurs growing and assumed they were all pullets. Are there any big breeds that don't grow spurs? As of now all my girls have little combs, and no wattles. I'm guessing, at this point being almost 7 weeks old that I would know if I had a roo by now.

I have a few hens with spurs LOL
All breeds of cocks get spurs, some get more than 1 set per leg.
Never heard of a roo getting spurs...LOL aren't they those ugly rat things jumping around in Austrailia ????????????
That said, most males Chickens, otherwise known as Cockerels, do develope a spur BUD at age 6 weeks or so...which gets progressively larger with age.
The best way to see if you have a male, however, is to look for hackle, hens do not have it, and it developes far before spur buds do.
Hackle will be found on the neck cape and the saddle of the bird, and never on females.
This will be evident even at 5- weeks of age....easy to see, dig in the bird's saddle area & see if hackle feathers are growing.
