View attachment 1047988 View attachment 1047989 Hi. I am new to raising chickens and was having trouble determining the sex of one of my birds. I have been assuming that "he" is a rooster based on behavior but wanted expert input. Almost 8 weeks old. Thank you for any guidance.

Breed? Ayam Cemani??? Sumatra???

I had ordered 15 female chicks from Hoovers Hatchery, all two days old. But now the chickens are 7 weeks old. I have two left of the Rainbow breed (the chickens of this breed have different feather patterns), and even though I ordered females, one chicken of that breed is looking quite like a rooster. Although, I'm not exactly sure. Wiggles is the chicken with the visibly larger and redder crown, and Cleo is the other one. They are the same breed.

If this helps at all, cockerels and roosters tend to have a deeper voice than pulleys and hens.

Im sorry I took so long, the color was throwing me off. Im used to the silver laced variety.
Im leaning towards pullet for now...
But could you post more pictures in another week?
As I said the color is throwing me off, Sorry!

Will do. Thank you @LilJoe!
