Um nooooo...its a pullet...look closley...not one saddle feather showing and all the hind qurater feathers are fat and rounded...not one pointy tip on them...
Youll be getting eggs from this girl

Um yeaaah! Look at the curling saddle feathers in this pic and also the long tail feathers coming in! You'd have to be blind not to see that he is a rooster! LOL!

yup, he was confirmed a boy. Luckily the guy that sold them to me took them back and gave me a couple of new chicks for free. So turned in a Australorp and EE and got another EE, a Mill Fleur D'uccle, and a Salmon Faverolles.

Thanks for the update. Good luck with your new babies!

Thank you all for the help. He did start crowing yesterday as I was hearding some of the others into the chicken run and had left himj behind. A bit disapointed that we had to give them up, but I still have a couple girls that are probably about a month from laying at this point so long as they both remain girls.

Sorry......if I lived closer I would have given you one of my girls for him.

No one said you were blind. But what you posted earlier, with your " Um nooooo... its a pullet..." comment, I personally took offense to that because it seemed like you were implying that I didn't know what I was talking about. So I answered back. If you took offense to that, I'm sorry, but I DO raise Aussie's and I think I know a rooster when I see one.
