Hen or Rooster?

[Berzerker]

We ordered ginger broilers from Murray McMurray Hatchery this year and they sent us this lovely creature as a bonus rare breed with our order. We'd love to know if Nedward here is a boy or girl. Roughly 13 weeks old now.

Nedward appears to be a handsome cockerel.

We are hoping that's the case. Thank you!

That's a nice change! Also, your coop build is looking great.

Nedward is very handsome! Is he possibly a self blue cochin?

Thank you! It's for the rabbits if we ever get it finished

That's our thought as well. Based on Google images search it seems to be what he most closely resembles.

Good question. Let me tag some people that are better with breed identification.

He's definitely a handsome boy!
