8 week silver lakenvelder- roo or pullet?

[EllieDeg]

Chicken newbie here! We got a silver lakenvelder as our surprise 7th chicken from the hatchery and I suspect it might be rooster. Tell me what you think! I'm not supposed to have roosters within the city limits here and I'm pretty sure my neighbors aren't going to just look the other way

Sorry. At eight weeks that is most definitly a rooster.

What a handsome guy he is!
I hope you're able to rehome him.
I'm sorry you'll have to part with him.

If it makes you feel any better, people really LOVE lakenvelders, unlike with some other breeds, especially common ones like RIR, if you rehome him I'd bet he'd go to a home where he's pet/flock protector sort of home, people don't usually send rarer breed roosters to soup camp :') He's a pretty boy, I'm sure someone will love to have them in your flock even though it is unfortunate he can't stay with you <3
