Identifying Roosters

[OurLadies]

Curious if we have any roosters in our new bunch. The BR is a little feisty and one of the white ones as well, but they are both about a week older than the rest of them so I'm not sure how much is an extra week of aging. Anyone see any fellas?

Anyone know if this is a New Hampshire red rooster?

Definitely a cockerel. Could be a New Hampshire, or a production red, either way it is a male.

Thanks! What are some of the "giveaways" to being a male?

That definitely looks like a production red. He's noticeably bigger than the others, has great tail feathers coming in, and a larger comb and wattle than others. Large feet and legs.

Should be a beautiful boy in a few weeks, if you like RIR derivatives. We do.
