Thanks everyone! I thought he was a rooster, but I wanted expert confirmation. I really appreciate how much I learn from all of you on this forum. Thanks again!

Thank you Featherz! I've never had a rooster before. I guess my adventures in the world of chickens just got a little more interesting....
