    Yep you've got a cockerel there. As another put it perfectly "red wing bars of doom".

    With those red patches on it's wings I am pretty certain that is a cockerel, even without seeing it's comb.

    I have a black sex link rooster in a converted dog kennel on the other side of a building away from his "women" can I keep the two of them together? They have been raised together and I really hate to get rid of either.
