mrbstephens......are you sure your GLW is a roo?? This is my GLW roo at 5 weeks old (he was exactly 5 weeks old on Sunday)..... He has had bright red wattles & comb for about 2 weeks now. Your roo pics look just like my hens did at 4 weeks old.

Here he is on the right with one of the hens on the left.

I had someone vent sex him for me. He says he was trained. He confirmed my suspicions.

You can't always be 100 by vent sexing....my roo was vent sexed a female...lol

You sure your roo is 5 weeks? It's looks so much bigger and more feathered in than mine did!

Yeah, but if you miss the little thingy in their vent you could easily mistake a roo for a girl. Not the other way around. He said he saw the "thingy" Anyway. I'm sure he'd return him/her to me if he was mistaken. Nice guy.

My chicks were born on 3/28 & I got them in the mail from Healthy Chicks & More on 3/29. I do have to say that I am very pleased with my order from them. They have all been very nice & vigorous chicks. I would definitely order from them again. They all arrived within 24 hours of being born (they ship on Sundays) & I have not had any health issues with any of them. This is when I fist got them...

This is him at 2.5 weeks old...when I started to notice the difference...

Mine looked like this at about 4 weeks, but pinker in the comb and waddles. He had HUGE legs too!
