I'm back...! Might be adopting a "hen", is it actually a hen?!

[SN95Tyler]

Good morning my friends! I have found a local 16 week americana chicken that is up for adoption and is all alone . You guys very correctly guessed my buff orptington was a rooster at a young age, and I need some help once again! I cannot have two roosters in my setup. What do you guys think? The tail feathers worried me, but the comb is a little red but shows no development really along with waddles


Thank you all and have a great day!

Those pointed saddle and hackle feathers are the give away

Sure enough. I don't have a whole lot of experience with roosters, but now just looking at it side-by-side with a hen and a rooster's saddle feathers and it's a dead give-a-way. You guys rock !

Cockerel. Pea comb and beard make the comb and wattles smaller and not really visible in the case of the wattles.
