Hi newbie with silly question...I have a 5 EE chicks about 5 weeks old.. They are suppose to be pullets, however yesterday when holding them I noticed than one has tiny little nubs (bumps) starting to form where I think spurs grow. Does this mean she's a he? or do pullets get these too? None of the others have these..so I'm thinking she's a he..just wanted to check before I re-home.
Thanks in advance.
 
Almost all of my chicks have had that little nub on their back legs, so don't be concerned yet that you have any roo's! I even had a hen that developed spurs but she was for sure a hen, laid a very pretty blue egg. If they were sexed as pullets they most likely are, though there are mistakes made I doubt all five of yours would be roo's.
