So did we find out for sure what it was????

I have a production red that was bought as a pullet from a hatchery. She's next to another production red pullet hatched the same day. I'm afraid one of mine is a cockerel, because he seems to be growing wattles and a comb a lot faster. Thoughts???

yes a roo

Around 10 weeks old, I'm not sure this little guy/gal is truly a pullet. He's always very eye catching and finds a way to stand out from everybody else and I'm concerned that this might be a dude. He always has had more of a developed comb and wattles and he seems a little stand-offish compared to the other 34 chickens and duck. Any help figuring out what he/she is would be appreciated. Thanks! Following picture shows neck feathers up close:

Did you ever find out if he was in fact a Roo??

Did you ever find out if he was in fact a Roo??

Yes, I'm curious too. I'm in exactly the same situation.

I think I am in the same boat with one of mine. Any thoughts on how it will change the dynamics if I keep him? I had originally only planned on having the "girls" around.

I didn't think if want a Roo but w LOVE having him. He watches out for the girls and protects them. He finds food for them. He's sweet!! Just handle him a lot and he'll be nice towards you as well.
