Help is this a rooster

[lindan3754]

I'm starting to worry if my Nugget (her name) is a rooster .....

She's making this kind of a crowing sound , seems only if I'm not out quick enough to open coop door in the morning , she is the alpha hen ...help

I think she might be a rooster. How old is she?

 

[lindan3754]

she's about 3 months .....she has no little red things under her mouth ..I'm new to chickens don't no the correct name

He is a rooster. He looks like an Easter egger. The things under his mouth are called wattles, and he probably won't ever have big wattles.

Yes she is a Easter egger.....oh no dang it , not sure if I can have a rooster I line in neighborhood ....ugh guy at feed store said he gave us all hens

I have three pullets who I'm hoping are hens! I can't have roosters. As much as I hate to say this, I think she is a he. I really hope I'm wrong! Fingers crossed for a hen instead.

Nugget is definitely a boy. This is what an Easter Egger pullet's comb looks like at that age. Easter Eggers do not typically have wattles.

lindan, I'm glad to say your second one is a little girl :-D Unfortunately I'm with everyone else on the first...he's a roo. Check to see if you can have roos in your area. If you can, I'd keep him if he's sweet. Roosters are great to have around, if they know their manners, lol!
