Definitely a roo?

HeatherTheMommy · Apr 15, 2016

I bought this frizzle which I'm assuming is a bantam cochin frizzle and I'm pretty positive its a roo. Will this breed have a good temperament as a roo? I have no roosters right now.

He is about 3.5-4 weeks

At that age, not definite, but, yes, it looks to be a rooster.

Easter Egger cockerels tend to have 3 row pea combs, this is not always accurate but it works most of the time. If you want to post a picture though we would love to help!
