Hen or Rooster??

[OurFarmIsBlessed]

I purchased 2-day old pullets 8 months ago. But I think one is a rooster. It's gotten very aggressive towards the rest of the flock. It's an Easter Egger as are most of my flock. I'm not sure how to tell if I have a rooster or a pullet. I'll try and take a clearer picture today after work.

A clearer photo is not even necessary...this IS a boy.

Tell me how you know. Please

Agreed. No doubt about those hackle feathers!

Agreed. Red across the back, pointed hackles, also seems from the cream colour to be S/s+, which hens can't be.

I know because of these long pointy feathers:

Definetly a roo. With those mad feathers there is no mistaking that

This may help! Only roosters end up with pointy hackle and saddle feathers, so they are an instant giveaway:

Thank you everyone. I was afraid this was a roo. Now to figure out what to do with him.
