Am I a ROOSTER!?! **fingers crossed**

[suzannevans]

Any guesses on the proud leghorn standing on left, is "he" a rooster?

The brown chick on the left looks like a roo.

the leghorn still early but looks rooo (comb too small for a leghorn roo but its pretty red)
the back chick defo Rooooooo (large red comb)

What is the giveaway? Comb, stance, etc and is that different with each breed? Sorry I'm really new at this. Only started with chickens week before Easter. And I am LOVING IT!!!!

If you are referring to the "back chick" being the one toward the back, fartherest on left, that is a leghorn, one closest to front kinda in the middle is a speckled sussex.

cockerels have bigger and faster growing combs and wattles. and they are far more redder than a pullet

they also have larger shanks (legs)

eventually as they feather they will get pointy hackle feathers (pullets rounder)

they will get flowing saddle feathering (pullets don't)

and a lot of the cockerels get a lovely Squirrel Tail (a tail that is large are fabulous)

hens keep a small tail

peacomb chicks cockerels would be identified by the redness of the comb rather than the size as the go red but stay small for at least 6 months

Thanks for the information! I'm pretty sure this fellow is a rooster even though "He" was supposed to be a "She"! I can tell you one thing he sure has a "Cocky" attitude! Walks around standing proud like he owns the coop. Also he loves to be admired, but you better do it from a small distance, get any closer than I got in this picture and he's gone!
