Is it actually a roo?

I think it’s a she but I saw another on here that looks similar but it was actually a rooster? Also what breed is it?

Looks like an EE cockerel to me

It is 100% cockerel.
The drooping, pointed saddle feathers give it away, as does the colouring.

Oh I feel stupid I thought it was a she, it’s name was Dorothy and she even got in the nest boxes. I never saw her nesting but she would mess up the eggs and straw in them. Anyway a predator got him the other day and none of the chickens are doing well right now, they won’t even eat out of my hand anymore, i feel like they’re judging me for it. He was my very favorite chicken, he’d fly to my arm or shoulder to be the first one to eat. I’ve never seen a chicken with so much personality.

So sorry that you lost him. We had a dog attack right after we moved our pullets to the coop and lost 4 of 7, plus an older hen. My 3 remaining pullets are still skittish, probably always will be. I’m still traumatized. One of my chicks was super friendly and I feel like I failed her.

I love his coloring - will you get another rooster at some point?
