4 Month Old White Rock Hen or Rooster

[mommiesrcool]

Yes. There is almost always a difference in size and weight among many of my same breed pullets.

thank you cause the reasons why i thought that it might be a rooster is because when i had two other roosters she was ALWAYS fighting with them and it got to a point where they were scared of her, and her tail looks different, and because of her weight but if you guys think that its a pullet ill go with that but ill find out for sure when it lays and egg

Does the bird crow?
If so, that would be a very clear sign of being male

I'm sorry I didn't see this till now lol but it's because the comb got HUGE and when he saw another rooster they both started fighting and it turns out they are not white rocks their meat birds lol.

I see some pointy feathers. Hen feathers are uniform, sculpted, and don't have any points. Hard to tell by these pictures. My roos have typically started to make a crowing sound at around 3 months. Any noises from this chicken?

Fighting with others is another definite characteristics for a roo. Glad you know as I thought it looked more like a roo with the pointy and not uniform feathers.

soo long story short I got some RIR chicks and he didn't like them so I gave the Roo my grandmother and she lives in an association and she got in trouble and we drove down south to go get him and we brought him and that hen to a place called La Porte Farms because both of them were being mean to the chicks and that place doesn't kill any of their animals and I've visited them already but I know for a fact he was a roo because his neck feathers were pointy
