Black/lavender split silkie. Only one from this hatch that I’m unsure of sex. Same size of other roosters from this hatch, other roosters in this color have very visible streamers and are much more aggressive (can post pic of definite Roos if needed). Pic of hen/roo in question next to definite hen from hatch +/- a week or two.

Can you get clear pictures of the comb with out the red light?
They're much too big for being in the brooder.
I know! They’re going back outside. Took pics while I’m introducing to make sure everyone gets along before sending two gray chicks out with the heat lamp. Don’t want anyone getting beat up. Thanks!
 
You'd be horrified how many people dont know.
Have you quarantined before introducing them?
Yes, all from same breeder and already quarantined newbies. It’s just starting to warm up here. Even my big guys aren’t old enough to be without a heater in the coop unless it’s over 55.

I honestly thought common sense that’s why I didn’t add in the original post but I’m not surprised it’s not!
