Help! Do I have a Rooster!?

[Wolfsbane]

Looks a bit like a cockerel to me but it is very hard to tell until he/she gets a little bit older, is the comb bigger than the other hens? sometimes that can help you tell but not always, depending on breed.

I found that looking at the feet can be helpful as all of my Roo's developed bigger feet and thicker legs than the other early on.

I have RIRs same age, I'd say you've got a Roo based on the comb but also the coloring. He's got a lot of splotchy coloring. Henny"s are typically a little more consistent coloring .

gather eggs daily, just dont let the chickens sit on the eggs and there wont be chicks.

Rooster. My leghorn started crowing at about 8 weeks. I was holding out hope that the second possible rooster wasn't a rooster but he started crowing today--he is about 10 weeks. No more rooster denial for me, it now a fact.
