What do you think? Roo?

FOUR ROOSTERS........Pop

The others aren't nearly as long a comb and no color in them.

I went back and took more pics as I was looking for more clues. Here's what I got. The first three pics are the same chick.

RIR

Buff.

And one last one of a RIR.

And not a great pic, but while taking these photos, I had my first escapee!!! She felt so big!!!

That's a lot of roos.

I still say cockerels and your pics now make me 99.5% sure they are.

Here's a pic of one of my 4 or 5 wk. old RIR pullets last year. See how short her comb is?

 

[scrapnfool]

Thanks for your thoughts. I've been thinking roos for a couple of weeks now. I'm thinking I ended up with 5 or 6 roos out of the ten we got on straight run. Now we also have 21 others that were purchased as pullets. So far, no surprises there. I guess we'll see.

Yea, I definitely agree those 4 are roos. I have a BO roo approximately the same age who looks like yours.

I bought my RIR's straight run last year and out of 12 we ended up with 8 cockerels so I know how you feel.

I'd say the BOs are definitely boys. My month old pullet's comb isn't pink at all, and you can't see wattles at all.
And the RIR pullet I have is more feathered than yours and her comb is smaller.
