Black Wyandotte Gender??

[micheleag2010]

I purchased this bird at 5 weeks old supposed to be a pullet but looking at her/him he is big. I feel like it might be a roo but I'm in denial so I thought I would get other's feedback. Also wondering if it might not be a pure breed. Thoughts? He or she is 4 months ish...

Male.

At sixteen weeks, males should have pointy, shiny saddle and neck feathers. Now a black chicken is going to be pretty shiny no matter the sex, but pointy feathers are your giveaway.

I can't see his back, but I see some pretty pointy feathers on his neck.

Dude, he seems awful tall for a Wyandotte.

You're just jealous of his long, sexy legs.

Handsome guy. Don’t think he’s a pure Wyandotte. The long, sexy legs and the missing tail don’t lie.

Legs for days! Definitely something else in his genetics besides Wyandotte.

Looks like a cockerel.

I love him with his long legs and stumpy butt!

That's also what I was thinking. He stands way taller than my entire flock. Granted I don't have a rooster in the flock but still. This guy is still the odd man out so as long as he is cool with me and good to my ladies I don't mind him sticking around.
