How does a roo act? my other 3 chickens all acted the same and I thought they were all girls then I noticed one 8 mo ole trying o mate with a giena bird and was starting to get longer tail feathers.
so if this one is a rooster that makes 4 roos and I will have to find some new homes, too meny roos tend to tear gashes in the sides of my chicks....not pretty

I would have to say roo also.

See if you can get a closer view of the neck feathers (hackles) If they are broader and not as sharp pointy looking at the ends, it's a girl. Thin and pointy- boy.
Hackles come in quicker then the saddle feathers.
Looks to me like a hen.
Beautiful bird either way, congrats

I'd guess Roo as well, although at 6 months it should have a few more obvious saddle feathers.. Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Yes, that's why I was thinking it was a hen- the hackles aren't pointed and I don't see saddles, sickles, etc.

when it either spits out an egg or goes cock-a-doodle-do... you will def. have the answer you seek... lol
