6 week americana cockerel?

[cluckforjoy]

Hello, I have a suspicion that one of the 6 "pullets" we bought from Rural King is a cockerel. (S)he's about 6 weeks old. We can't keep a rooster, so it will be nice to know ahead of time if we need to rehome him/her or not.

I’d say probably cockerel

Thanks for your opinion! He's had a red comb for a couple weeks now, and he just acts different than the others.

Cockerel. That red coloring coming in around the shoulders is male specific.
