Houston, I think we have a rooster

[mscallisto]

I know hens can sometimes crow, but I wsnted to ask anyways. This morning I heard crowing in the coop. I'm not sure who it is, but I suspect the leghorn or the welsummer. I've seen the leghorn jump on the others backs. These guys are 4 months old.

Your Welsummer is a cockerel for sure.

Older hens may crow, pullets do not. And yes, you do have a cockerel. The one with the black chest. I can't tell if it's the Welsummer or Leghorn from this distance, since both breeds have the same color pattern, but it's the one on the far right n the first pic. However if you say the Leghorn is jumping on the rest I would say it's the Leghorn.

Can you post individual pics of each bird. I think I see 2 boys in there

Hard to tell form the far off photo

The two with bigger combs, one looks welsummer I don't know about the other one, are definitely cockrels.

Individual pictures would help

Hope these are better. They don't pose very well.

The first pic is definitely cockerel. The second one looks like a pullet to me.

First is a cockerel, second a pullet. I think I can see a hint of a white earlobe on the second? If so, and with that skinny build, that's your Leghorn, and it's the Welsummer that's the cockerel. You say the Leghorn is jumping on the others?
