Hen or roo?

[graceredeemedfarms]

This is an Ayam Cemani/Spitzshauben cross, hatched late March. No comb or waddles, no crow but those back feathers have me wondering...

Oh no! Look at those saddle feathers! I’m sorry but its a cockerel! Hopefully you can keep him!

Depends on his attitude. ‍ I haven’t had good luck with roosters but this one is intellectually challenged so maybe.

Hopefully he’s friendly to you and your hens!

Is it? The hackles and saddle have me thinking otherwise.

It’s a toss up. The saddle feathers are rounded not pointy.

Me too! No comb and the AC cockerel from the same hatch has a clear roo comb already. No waddles but the feathers near the rear look pretty roo-ish.
