It's not screaming rooster at this point, but can you get some better pics? Profile shot, and a comb close-up would be helpful.

 

[aubreyjo]

Yes I will for sure take more if I could just get her to sit still... I will post more tonight!! thank you so much!!

x2 - although you have a pretty Easter Egger, not Ameraucana

 

[aubreyjo]

Sorry, you've got an Easter Egger roo

The comb growth, the red on the wings are both classic rooster signs.

 

[aubreyjo]

Oh man that makes me sooooo sad! How do I go abouts finding her I mean him a good home??

You can put him on Craigslist to a home and make sure you make it clear you want him in a good home. A lot of people will just get the free roos on CL for dinner, but if you ask money for him, chances are the people actually want him and will take him. He's does have a pretty coloration for an EE. I don't see a lot of EEs come in that color and I would take him if I could, personally lol but I have no room. I'm sure someone would love to use him to hatch some pretty babies

Yeah, with these better pics he's an obvious rooster, sorry.

You can try listing him on Craigslist or similar. Just remember forever homes for roosters aren't that common, and roosters are a dime a dozen. There are worse fates than a really good life and one really bad day.
