About 10 weeks ago, I got two cute little baby chicks, supposedly both female. This week my Ameraucauna started crowing. She has always been bigger and dominant. These are the first chickens I've ever owned so I'm a bit clueless. Roosters are not allowed in the city limits so if she is a he, she's gotta go. From pictures we've googled online, we are leaning towards a rooster. Some advice would be helpful! Hen or roo?

I like everything about it except how it looks right now. I know it lays decently. It is a great part of my great waterfowl flock. -
First, watching a runner duck run is awesome. They can find their own food. They aren't like pekins in water. Mine haven't started laying but I heard their decent. -
Its not as fat and slow as a pekin, but its not frail either. I want a mallard but I don't want a flying bird. The rouen is great for that. -
They are my calmest birds and are easiest to catch. They eat less than Pekins. I heard they also lay well, but mine are younger. -
they are my favorite duck breed ever. i have heard they lay well, but i didn't list that because mine haven't started yet.
