Hello All,
I'm a new member. I have three 4 month old chickens and suspect that one is a rooster. She just started crowing this week and has always been the most aggressive of the 3 - running straight at the other chickens with feathers puffed up. She's a Columbian Wyandotte and I've attached pictures taken yesterday. She's kind of a pain but we still love her and hope she's not a rooster so we can keep her. Any thoughts are appreciated! Thanks!

Pointed saddle feathers....your she is a he.

Yes, that is a rooster, no doubt about it.

Oh man! That's a bummer. Thanks so much for your help though. I think we knew all along but have been in denial. :/

The saddle feather, comb + wattles, and the tail feathers reveal that it is a cockerel.

It's a rooster

Thanks everyone. Our farm store will relocate him for us. Sad but glad to know. And the girls were always a little scared of him. We have a blue Cochin and a buff Orpington too and they are sweet as can be. Now I have to learn about integrating a new hen - if we decide to get another one. We're only allowed to have 3 so I know that will be tricky. Might just stick with the two.
