Hen or Roo?

[Yocelinsaldana06]

So I bought some chicks from my local feed store about 3 weeks ago and this one has the biggest comb of them all and looks to be a rooster to me. I’m not sure though because I’m not good at sexing chicks. The feed store sexes their chicks as pullets so I’m not too sure what it is. Wondering what others think.

To clarify, the feed store receives sexed chicks from a hatchery.
It might be a little early, but it could be.

It may be a Sapphire Gem, in which case it is a pullet. Male SGs are barred. That's one possibility. If it's some other hatchery hybrid, then you'll have to wait for a few weeks to tell. I don't think the comb is too large for it to be a pullet, myself. Give it some time.

Yeah I was just wondering because this feed store I buy them from are pretty good at sexing. I’ve bought a lot of chicks from them in the past year and haven’t had a single rooster but regardless, I don’t care if it’s a rooster or hen, I’m keeping it. It just stuck out to me because it has the biggest comb from the others. Also they’re Easter eggers

You know what? It is a lil' premature, but I'm just going to say I think that's a cock. They are so fun to choose names for, my most recent boy is Troublemaker and Reckless (One-word descriptions; & so accurate.)

Please Update later!
