3 month Deleware - roo?

[clapping]

Hi all, I have increasing suspicion that my Ronnie here may be a roo! 3 month old chicken, and Ronnie does display what I consider roo behavior. One of my other (supposedly sexed) chickens also turned out to be a roo, and these two square off staring at each other and even get into fighting that looks a lot like cockfighting to me. I can't have roosters so I will be giving Yoko, the confirmed rooster, away to a rooster sanctuary soon. I'm wondering if I should also give away Ronnie at the same time so they can have a friend in their new place. Thanks for your help!!

He is a boy with a comb that big at this age! Looks like there may be starting saddle feathers as well these come in to focus at about 16 weeks.

Yup, he is a cockerel.

LOL thanks all, my denial is officially over! I gave my Ronnie and Yoko to the rooster sanctuary. Give some thoughts to my little guys for a long happy life for a roo!
