Just realized I double posted one of the pics. So this is a boy for (mostly) sure?

Can you post a good shot of the back? By 4 months old, if it's a boy, there should be some obvious male saddle feathers.

Wow. He's purty...

Anyone have any thoughts on this leghorn?

We hatch this one & my son is really hoping that it's a hen.
Thanks!

Sorry, I just realized that I posted this on the EE thread. I will repost on a neutral breed thread.

Here's our EE rooster Richard...we could tell fairly early that he was a roo. He's already been crowing for about a 3 weeks now. He's about 3 1/2 months old

"Mostly" sure is about right. I expect that it's a cockerel, but for some reason, can't be 100%. If you have a good side view, it might help. Otherwise, I'd say expect a male, but wait until it crows... just in case.

Ok my girls(I hope)again. The 2 New Hampshire mixes have thick fat combs and the beginning of battles but no pointed shackle feathers or I would say roo automatically but all they do is bully each other and are mean to my other to EE's who just hide from them. Are they both roo's? Because if one roo and other pulley wouldn't the roo be protective instead of mean to her?
