We've had all four chicks from day olds and we've noticed that one is looking remarkably different. Can anyone say from the pictures that it's definately a male? Or is just a odd hen?






In comparison with same age light sussex pullet and light sussex cross Aracuana.


 
We'e noticed what looked like some play sparring but since our hens sometimes do it not sure. Isn't crowing yet. Want to sell if Rooster but want to be sure. When do Roosters crow? Specifically LS?
 
I'm thinking rooster. How old?

There's no magic age when roosters crow. Some crow at 3 weeks, some wait until a year or so. It doesn't matter by breed, either. They just crow when they're ready.

approx 10-12 weeks, most likely around 11 weeks.
 
That's a rooster! It depends on the bird when they start to crow .mine were crowing at as early as 11 weeks but it just depends.
