Boy. Those look like saddle feathers to me.

Each child is unique and will develop in his own way and time. Be patient, flexible and encouraging. Always lead; don't push. Most of all, remember that children truly are a GIFT from God. - author unknown

110% cockerel due to the saddle and hackle feathers they are long slender and pointed and cockerels ate the only ones that get saddles and hackles that shape not to mention his two toned coloring

That is for sure a roo/cockerel.

3 Sex Links, 1 New Hampshire Red, 1 Ancona, 2 Crele Leghorns, 2 Golden Laced Wyandottes, 1 Araucana, 1 Ameraucana, and 2 EEs. Plus the dogs, horses, parrots, and turtles. I hope that's it for now.

 

Waiting.... can't wait any longer...... for my Pullets to start laying!

Absolutely a cockerel.  See the pointy saddle feathers at the base of the tail hanging down the sides of the body.  Only males get those feathers.

Having an Icelandic in the coop is like having a 2 year old in the house - they are into everything and don't follow the rules.

I have zero chicken willpower.

Are you keeping him? :)

I have 2 cats, 1 Golden Retriever, 2 gold fish, and now 13 chickens. :)

Tough Cookie (T.C.) Cleo, at 6 weeks old, died in April 2012. Kanaliha Cleo, at 9 weeks old, died on May 14, 2013. They are greatly missed.

I doubt it. We live in a neighborhood so he'll have to go when he crows, if not before. Anyone near Charleston, SC want him?
