breed and gender??

[GAwelder]

So I got a chicken from a man at my church he does very well with my flock but I have no idea what he or she is... What breed? Also it has spurs and comb etc. But the tail feathers and the pin feathers at the base of the tail look like a hen and I never hear it crow, opinions?

Looks like a rooster to me. Black australorp?

That's what I was thinking too he has white on his face is that common with an Australorp?

That is a hen. Looks like a Minorca. Mediterranean hens often have those large, floppy combs.

I think it's a mature mixed breed hen. The color on the breast shows mixed heritage.

X2, looks like a Minorca IMO too!

Definitely a Minorca! Just looked up the info on here matches perfectly! How much are these birds going for? I'd love to have a roo so I could have a breeding pair!
