If I didn't already have 4 males with my 2 females, I'd volunteer to take him..

Thanks! I think we have a home for him still, but I wont give him up until he crows lol!

How are the saddle feathers looking?

I'll take a picture tomorrow. I honestly cant tell due to never studying a roo's feathers.

I think they're hard to make out on a splash. Especially in a photo. If it will let you run your hand under them. That will make it easier to see if they're rounded or pointed.

I say that he definitely has a roo comb...

S/he has male comb and hackle feathers......but I see no male saddle feathers.
Wonky genes of mixed genders....cannot remember the right term, Gynandromorphs?
But that is usually side to side rather than front and back.
Do some reading here.
Meanwhile wait for crowing and/or eggs.

Thanks for the input! He/she barely makes any noise at all, I've noticed. Thanks again for the info!

Any eggs yet?

No, and no crowing. But he has a little respiratory issue going on right now, so who knows. He has really calmed down, rarely aggressive anymore!
