Hen or rooster?

Sorry, definitely a boy

Hi Everyone.

I’ve rescued what I think is a hen, but now she’s here I’m not so sure! I’ve got her separate from my two ex-batts, but she’s much larger and this may sound strange, but she’s got a really deep clucking noise. Any ideas whether he’s a he, or she’s a she? The person I rescued her from said she’d laid no eggs to date.

The reason she hasn’t laid eggs, and never will, is because male chickens don’t have ovarys.

Cockerel.

That makes sense. They thought it was because of her/his age.

Yeah that’s a cockerel, sorry.
