Is it a rooster? Pics included!!!

So about four months ago we got 6 baby chicks. Now their feathers are in and personalities are out!! But there is one.... Coincidentally, we named her Rodrigo when we got her and lately her antics are pushing me to believe it was a fitting name!!

We had them inside the house in our sunroom up until about a week ago, but now they are outside in a coop. Rodrigo is the first to come out each morning and when he does he gives a half crow. None of the others do this. His comb is a little more red than the other of his breed who I'm sure is a female, but he is smaller than her with a slightly thinner neck. So what do you think? Rodrigo or Rodriga?

He's a pretty little cockerel.

Really.... Is it that obvious? Lol. Here's another pic of him next to a female. Maybe it will tell you for sure?

Yep....Rodrigo is definitely a ROO!!

 

[BantamLover21]

Yes, he is a rooster.

Cn anyone tell me what they see that confirms rooster? I'm new to this lolol.

His hackles, saddle feathers, and color pattern of his feathers. Look at the difference between his comb and wattles compared to the pullet.

Can we see a side profile of your pullet??

I do not think he is a rooster. You should hear him crowing by this age. Does 'it' crow? Does 'it' breed other hens? Does 'it' strut?
