Do hens crow??

I see cockerel feathering.
It's kinda hard to see, but it's there.
He is a handsome boy.

I agree. Brahmas don't get much in the way of comb/wattles.

I have 3 Ameraucana birds and this is one of them. I think y’all are right that it’s a cockerel. Additional photos...

Yep, that's a cockerel.

Yikes! I want to correct myself and say that's definitely not a Brahma! He's a Columbian Wyandotte. No clue how I missed the clean legs and rose comb

These were from a sexed batch at my local feed store. Out of 11 chicks, 2 have now turned out to be cockerels. The other one was a golden laced Wyandotte but died a couple of months ago for some reason. So now 3 reds, 1 golden Wyandotte, 3 silver lace Wyandottes, and 3 Ameraucanas. I keep them in a pen I built with 2 coops placed end to end. I’ve had 2 rounds of inherited chickens over the last 2 years, but all were eventually killed since I let them free range on my 4 acres. A neighbors dog killed the last group, after getting out of its fence. Is this pen too small to have this rooster in there? I feed them all day, starter feed, fruit, and grass scraps, but I’d be concerned with him harassing the hens all day and not having enough space.

The store labeled these as Ameraucana. Not correct?

No, he's a Columbian Wyandotte. I'm seeing no Ameraucanas or Easter Eggers for that matter, can you get individual pictures of each?

Here’s one that shows most of them having some watermelon. Excuse the paper plates, they had just had some rice!
