Hen or rooster

[danielle19]

I have white leghorn with yellow feet and has started to crow is safe to assume this is a rooster. I am very very new to having chickens any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, crowing is usually an indicator of a rooster. But, also look for other signs. Does he/she have any pointy, shiny, longer feathers on the neck and right before the tail? These feathers are called hackle and saddle feathers, and only roosters get them. Is his/her comb larger than the combs of your other birds, and is it red? Those are other signs of a rooster. You might also notice thick legs, small spur nubs, and a tall stance.

If you want to have an opinion of whether your bird is a rooster, just post some pictures, and I'll be happy to help.

You could post in the "what breed or gender is this" forum. Pics would be good though
