Cockerel the red in the shoulders wattles combs legs are thick and feet are big.The way he stands pointy hackle feathers coming in he will probably start crowing in a couple of weeks
 
Want to know something funny I can sex pictures but I have a hard time sexing my flock lol!

I feel you. I can spot a rooster a mile away here on BYC, but when I'm getting ready to cull my boys I always post to BYC first to confirm my suspicions because I'm so afraid to cull a pullet. It's always easier when it's someone else's bird and there are no emotions attached.

yes I know what you mean I am having those emotions right now I have an aggressive rooster he was one of my 1st chickens and he is just so mean that he will be heading to crock pot camp I just have to suck it up and do it but I look at him and my heart breaks but then he bites me or flogs me lol and that love for him turns into a recipe for chicken stew just waiting on hubby to set up the kill tent.
 
Oh thank goodness, I thought I was the only one! I can spot them easily here, but just the other day I was looking at my ~3 month old birds and realized I have 4 roosters, not 3.

And last year, I wrote one off as a rooster by color at around 2 months, she's now one of my best layers! I think it's something about being around them every day, looking at them but not really "seeing" them, you know?

And yes, the OP has a handsome rooster.
