yep... those hybrid layers, the roos are meant to hatch with white down.

Wow- that's crazy! What are the odds of getting a red roo? I've never heard of it happening. I'd wait a little longer too.

I hope I am just paranoid...

updated pix! Chicks are 6 wks old.

this is the hen:

this is the 'suspects' head:

this is the 'suspects' feathers... I tried to get pix of where any saddle feather would be growing (as suggested by SloCrevs).. this chick is only just starting to feather out back there.. had been pecked a bit before I got it....

any futher opinions would be appreciated!!!

I say it's a pullet.

Should be a pullet. The roosters from ISA browns should be totally different color.

It's a girl. Honestly, I'm surprised that the other girl doesn't have more comb, at her age.

 

[delawaregirl09]

Two girls there, I would say. That one has a bit of comb, but thats good. One of my Delawares did that.

If they are two pullets like they should be I wonder how big that comb will get seeing that its that big already?!?!? I have only had roos from the BSL and only girls form the GSL so I don't know how the roos look first hand.

 

[newchickmom09]

I say both are pullets too. She is just going to have a big comb and probably be the boss.
