Golden laced male vs female?

[Madrean]

Hello everyone,
Can you please help identify if this is male or female?
Thank you,

Sounds like it is time for her to meet her match but I'd make it a fence.
She will eat that bird just as quickly as she has the others.

Definitely a cockerel..But not a golden laced Wyandotte he’s a mutt.

agree, this is a cockerel and a mixed breed, but I wouldn't trust him to ward off your dog. I'd learn to train your dog and/or get a fence. Your cockerel will be killed along with all the others.

Around 8 weeks. Was gifted to me, so I’m not exactly sure.

He’s a cockerel. I have to agree on him probably not being a good dog match, he’ll end up getting killed.

How old? I’m leaning towards cockerel.

I’m not sure a rooster will be up to facing off with any aggressive dog, unless the roo is pretty darned crazy and/or the dog is timid. But yes, I think your little guy is a guy all right.

Mixed with something that has a backward crest, makes it difficult to tell...

I agree that it looks like a mixed breed cockerel. And also he's likely no match for a dog who has a history of killing chickens.

thank you sir,
I have been hoping for a roo, to ward off my chicken killing dachshund.. she has killed many a chicken, and the time has come for her to meet her match..
