Help -- Pullet or Cockerel?

[BonNuit]

Could someone with more experience advise if my 13 week old RIR is a pullet or cockerel? He/She looks markedly different from my other RIR -- taller, more pronounced tail feathers, darker comb -- but I am hoping I am wrong and she's still a "she" ...

Welcome to BYC. Sorry, it's a cockerel.

I agree. Handsome guy though!

Thank you. I was pretty sure -- I've already starting calling him by "Otis" ...

What percentage are you certain? LOL.

What if I put him in a pink tutu -- would you still be sure?

Hello and welcome!

Yes, your bird is a cockerel. With or without a pink tutu I'm afraid.

100 %

Cross dressing cockerels are easily spotted.

He and I are going to have to have a long talk about this. You see, I already have grown pretty found of Otis -- and unfortunately, roosters aren't "allowed" in R2 zones here... so into the coop closet he will have to remain if he is to stay here with his harem. Sigh. Unfortunately, I haven't know to many Roos that were open to reasonable compromises when it comes to crowing ... ::sigh::
