hello, I am new to this site so apologies if im posting in the wrong place. I was just wondering if anyone could please help me identify the gender of my welsummer chick. This is the first welsummer I have owned. We recently hatched 4 chicks and the other 3 are female however I am unsure about this one although I think he is male. I have attached some photos. First is when the chick was a few days old, and the other now at 2 months old. thanks in advance for your help.

Definitely a rooster. Female Welsummers have different coloring.

Yes, that looks like a male.

Can you get a closer pic of the bird? I'm thinking cockerel, but not Welsummer. A Wellie at this age should have a black breast, I'm seeing brown.
