Any ideas?

[rowansc]

Just wondering if anyone knows what this one is. It's probably about four months old and massive. I know for sure that it isn't a leghorn. It was bought at tractor supply. I'm also wondering if it's a cockerel or a pullet? I'm thinking cockerel but it doesn't act like one.

White rock for the breed.
Gender ....well how close to "about 4 month's " are we talking......14 weeks or 18 weeks?

looks like white rock it looks like mine about the same age too but the comb and waddles on yours is bigger and redder than mines are

I am going to guess cockerel on that one. Although, it would be helpful to know the exact age. But you don't exactly know when you get them at a farm store.

you can pretty accurately age them by down/feather development at purchase

Breed: I would guess that that is a White Plymouth Rock. White rocks are not very common in feed stores but your chicken definitely looks like one. It is not a Chantecler unless it is a mix. (Chanteclers have cushion combs and not single combs... your chicken has a single comb).

Gender: It definitely looks like a cockerel (young roo). I have never seen a set of wattles and comb so developed on a pullet. The tail feathers also have that 'free flowing' manner that only rooster tail feathers have. He also has sturdy, thick leg bones; another characteristic in roosters. Here is a photo of cookie, a barred Plymouth rock (a different color variety of the breed that yours appears to be) at about one year of age.

I hope this helps!

I was thinking the same thing with the feet cuz like I said earlier my 2 are about the same age as rowansc and the waddles and comb are bigger and redder and the feet are thicker than my girls are
