White Plymouth Rock 6-Week Old Chick Roo or Pullet?

[psedge16]

Hi everyone! Just thought I would jump in and see what everyone thought about my sweet white rock 6 -week old chick. She (hopefully) is my favorite of all the newbies, probably the friendliest chick I've ever handled! Anyway, I had purchased hatching eggs for one of my hens back in May and the hatchery sent me a random egg ( which I failed to discover was a white rock until a few weeks ago). Never had this breed before, but heard that they grow pretty fast, as Luna here is about 2 x the size of her "sisters." Her feet are huge, and I know she might be showing more signs of being a roo than I would like, but who knows? She goes off and hangs out by herself, sitting away from the others a lot of the day and likes to stay out of the way of the older hens! Here (she) is, let me know what you think!

I would personally say a cockerel, although it's comb is a little small. It looks like a wait-and-see to me.

Leaning towards cockerel but not positive, I would post again in a week or two. Oh and

!

Are you allowed to keep roosters where you live?

It's not screaming rooster to me.

Fortunately yes, just keeping my hopes up we have a hen here

I hope you're right! I swear he/she is too docile to be a roo!

He/she looks a little like a boy, but I would think by now that if he/she were a boy, the face would be a lot redder, and the comb larger.

How's she (hopefully) doing?
