Do I have a ROOSTER on my hands?

[hlroudeb]

I have no idea how to tell....... he/she is 5 months old & HUGE!
he/she is a talker..... and always flying over the gate & in trouble.

How can I tell if he/she is a ROOSTER???? (see photo)

Thanks!

Boy

Its a dude

make barred or cuckoo patterned birds are usually lighter than the females. also he has pointed saddle feathers, the ones on his lower back before the tail. he probably has pointed neck feathers as well.

Nice looking, but yep, a boy.

See ve, I agreed with you here.

How you tell is that MASSIVE comb and wattles! Hens don't get those that large

He'll be crowing ANY DAY NOW! Very pretty boy though

I knew he was..... just checking.
He grows like 3 inches a day!

If he starts crowing the local town government is going to shoot him!!
I need to find him a home very soon!

I keep seeing FREE roosters.... are Roosters hard to get rid of????
