Help! Is this a rooster??

[HomesteaderMel]

This is one of our Ameraucanas, Chowder. We think it's a rooster, but s/he hasn't crowed yet. Chowder is 3 months old...

S/he is a beautiful bird, which makes me pretty sure it's a HE... any more experienced opinions??
Thanks

I don't have any roosters, but I can tell that is one for sure. I hope you can keep him!

Sorry to say but yes you are right but he is a very pretty boy!

Notice the separated hackle feathers, & the curved tail.

Thanks, everyone! Yes, we are keeping him. He is our only roo, and we do plan on hatching some chicks in the near future

This is my first foray in having my very own chickens. We had them when I was a kid, though. I bought 8 pullets (5 Ameraucana, 2 Silver Laced Wyandotte, and 2 Cukoo Maran). Well, not too long ago, one of my Ameraucanas grew a big comb and has started crowing. He looks just like your pic, but more rusty on the wings and shoulders. I hope he stays sweet. He is my 9 year old daughter's favorite and is very docile. He's 5 months now. We make a point of handling him the most every day.
