Its hard to tell from this picture, but looks like that tail is curling under a bit. I vote that bird is a boy!

Do you have a picture of his/ her comb and are those reddish feathers on the wing? Because if it is I would say rooster, though a curled tail doesn't always mean a cockerel.

The one in the lap is a cockerel, 100%. The one on the ground at far left looks feminine to me in this picture but closer photos would definitely help.

The only boy I see is the one in the lap. The one you are questioning is very girly in colouring.

I will try to get better pics in a bit. She's always moving, lol. That one has had me confused, first I was sure female, then male, back and forth. She doesn't have the deep red comb of my other too, also comb is not as big, but someone mentioned too posture before and she as always stood more upright I guess is the word, than the others. Then those feathers started looking like they were curling under. I was like, noooo, not esmerelda! She is my favorite egger!

here are some better pics of esmerelda. Only took me taking about 50 pics to get a few good ones. Just when I'd have the perfect pic lined up, someone would spot my wedding ring and want a taste, so then...blurry picture lol. :cd
