I think my hen is a rooster !

[Queenadilene]

Here are the three things that I found really helped when it came to figuring out if its a rooster or not.
1) Is it jumping on the other chicken?
2) Does it crow? This is a pretty good sign that it is a rooster!
3) Patience, make sure you have patience for either of these signs.
I used to have a couple of laying hens that had huge crowns, spurs, and even green tails, but they were still hens, so you can't say for sure until any of these things are obvious, you just can't be sure.

Yea he has been chasing the red a lot

Rooster bright red comb

True the comb is red but the bird is 6 months old......

Good questions!

Also at 6 months they should both (if female) be either laying or super close to laying.

The pic is not the best.
The feathers look all messed up from either the bird fluffing or something else.

Can you get a picture of the bird while its not all fluffed?

I will try and get a better pic it’s really windy here today

I do note the hackle feathers looking pointed and the red comb. I just cannot see the saddle feathers.



Any crowing?

x3!! What a gorgeous bird! I had an americauna roo once and (he had crooked toes lol) but he was beautiful and very sweet. They would be my choice for a rooster.

A female at point of lay would have a bigger, reddened comb as well.
