Hen or Roo?

[Jayrf929]

This Rhode Island Red is 4 months old. I think I know the answer. I’m just in denial .

Unfortunately it’s a cockerel, a very handsome one though!

 

[slordaz]

definitely a cockerel

Neither a hen or a roo. At 4 months old, he's a cockerel. Good luck and have fun...

If you breed him with your Barred Rock female, you will get Black Sex-Links. Both sexes hatch out black, but the males will have a white dot on their heads.

Duly noted but you know what I meant. Lol. I was keeping the title short and sweet. I’m not interested in breeding. I do have a black sex link already though. Bought as a day old chick. She’s my sons favorite.

Some day you might want to hatch some chicks and it will be fun for your son and the chicks can be sexed easily. Again good luck and have fun...
