Hi there, I am looking for opinions on Rooster or hen??

[dancinbear]

Hi everyone- I thought I had all hens, and of course I have one that is cockadoodling so we are thinking it is a rooster. I am not sure though? is there any way for sure to tell? we aren't keeping roosters- and would hate to give her back to the woman we got it from- if it is indeed a hen- if that makes sense. I find no spurs or claw things on the legs, though she/he does have a sibling, i included in the pics i will post- they are mutts so father could be different?

any help or comments would be appreciated! thanks so much!

I'm no expect, but if it is cock-a-doddling it is a pretty sure sign that it is a rooster!

THANKS! lol that is exactly what i thought.. but then i hear- that she/he is too young to cock a doodle and yet it has been doing it for weeks- and tomorrow they will be 12 weeks- AND also heard that hens can do it- IF they hear others? i have no clue?? but I would be so sad if i gave him back and he ended up being a she.. kwim?
