Help sexing a buff sussex please

[nic2701]

Hi everyone,

I desperately need some help sexing my favorite chook 'buffy'. She/He is only 3.5months old but already towers above the others. She/he has spur bumps (as all chickens do), but they dont stand out all that much., and dont seem to be getting any bigger. The tail feathers have a green gleam to them, but arent especially long. There hasnt been any crowing or even attempts at crowing that i have heard.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!

He is a deffinet roo. You can tell by the shiny 'waterfall' saddle feathers that he has, and also because of his size, stance, huge red comb and his overall plumage.

You have a cockerel. 100% positive.

Rooster. As stated, those shiney, drapey feathers hanging down from the base of his tail are the kicker.

Thanks guys.... i must admit, thats what I thought... which is a real shame as he's got the best personality of any chook I've had.
Anyone want to buy a (apparently from show quality stock) buff sussex roo? hahaha
