I suspect it may be a...














































Could you post some pics of it head, I can't really tell from that pic.

Well, if you're asking for gender a better pick of the chicks head would be GREAT

Other than a guess, you'll probably have to wait a little longer until baby gets more feathering in. I know... The wait is excruciating!!

The pom pom tail is probably just his/her tail growing out

Some of my babies have some funky tails going on right now too! My example chick is a frizzle EE born mid June, pic was taken yesterday... They go through their "odd" stages, but always wind up "normal"

Thanks Chris. Not the answer I was hoping for as I only have 3 hens, 1 roo and now this chick. Was hoping for another hen. Wonder what the chances are for keeping 2 roos??

You can have two roosters together, If they grow up together they usually get along good. Now you you need to get some more hens to go with them.

Definitely a roo. I have 5 roos together. (2 will be moved out to seperate pens with their own females soon) No fighting. Sometimes a little bickering but they know who's the "boss" and respect that.

How can you tell he is a roo? Is it bacause of the pom pom tail? So totally new, but having so much fun. Thanks everyone, Leslie
