Hi, here is one of my 8 week old b/o chicks. I got them as 90% sexed pullets. He is the only one so far that I am concerned about being a roo. Any thoughts from more experienced chicken people would be appreciated.

MPO...I don't think it's a roo. My chicks are 4-5 weeks old and have some the same size...they came from McMurray, and they are supposed to be all pullets
 
Here is my BO at 8 weeks old. Yours dont have near the red comb or wattles as mine does. Mine was suppose to be a pullet and it looks like a roo. Also notice how my BO is getting darker feathers on his back.

Our Buff Orps are 8 weeks also. We have 2 that look like yours in the 1st picture. I was thinking they were gonna be roos too. Now I am a little disappointed because I was hoping for a roo so I could have Buff Orp chicks next year.

That's funny because although I didn't want a roo originally, I was getting used the idea that I could breed my favorite (aka: Mrs. Cuddlesworth) next year too and have little Mrs. Cuddlesworths running around.
