Is My Chicken a Hen or a Rooster?

[cmn3]

We got the kids all chicks for Easter, they are about 10 weeks old and one is starting to make a cackeling noise in the mornings. We have looked at pictures and it is hard to tell if we have a hen or a rooster.

What do you think?

Is it a leghorn?? We have a leghorn, and she had her comb/wattle grow and darken just before she started to lay, at 5 months.

I'd say a roo. It's comb and wattle are large, and red for 10 weeks.

Good luck!

Technically, neither a hen nor a rooster, it is a cockerel.

Sorry, just a little fun. Forgive me. Anyhow, yessireee that is a cockerel. He's a beauty.
