Hen or Cockerel?

[Jtrahan1]

Hello,
I’m a new member of this site but have been following for years. I have been keeping chickens for three years now and have always ordered hens. I received my last order and one of my Black Aulstraups appears to be a he. I currently have this breed and this one doesn’t look or act like the others. I have to be honest, I am particularly fond of the little guy.

Cockerel.

I forgot to mention that these guys were supposedly born on June 6, 2022.

Then he is definitely a cockerel.

Welcome to BYC. We’re so glad you joined!
I agree, he looks to be male. He’s cute though!

Oh great. How will he change the dynamic of my established flock? My other girls will be going on three.

How many chicks and how many hens do you have?

Welcome to BYC. I hope he will grow into a well mannered rooster.

I have 22 laying hens and I am adding 20 more chicks.
