Is Mochi a hen or roo?

[Ercwyne]

Mochi is around 6 and a half weeks old.
Mochi has been inside due to an accident and she got injured. She is recovering well.
Ive spent quite a bit of money on her treatment, so it would be preferable if Mochi is a girl. We're not supposed to have roosters where we live, so if Mochi is a roo, we will have to work out something to keep them, possibly as a house chicken.
She's confusing me coz her wattles have turned pink, but idk if its still within hen range for her age. The wings are curved towards the tail. Mochi enjoys being petted and will melt into a little pancake. Is kinda hen shaped just the comb and wattle is making me nervous.
Shes crawled into my lap right now and falling asleep while getting pets.

Little dude.
Sorry, it's best that you don't him a new home, a house chicken is a poor idea.
Inside life is unhealthy and draining mentally and physically for chickens (he's already not healthy looking) and it's unhealthy for you too. Very serious issues come up from long term, continuous to bird dander and feces.
It's for the best for him to move on.

Being inside is only temporary at the moment. I will keep it in mind for future tho that it might not be a good idea long term. And Mochi is healthy i assure you, just has some healing to do which is going very well with assistance from a vet. Its just be much easier if Mochi is a girl coz then i wouldnt have to worry about keeping a secret rooster.

I vote roo. I'm sorry! It will be hard to keep a crowing rooster a secret!

Its not the end of the world... im still glad i forked out the money to help them. We managed to keep a rooster a secret for almost 2 years, only reason we got caught was coz we got really sick with flu and couldnt get out of bed to lock him up for the night so he started crowing at 4 am.

I think roo too! If you can’t keep him, hopefully you can find him a new home.
