Is my RIR a rooster?

[happychicks3]

Could anyone tell me if my 16 week old Rhode Island Red chicken is a rooster?

Yes, that is a cockerel.

I'm sorry...very new chicken owner here. Does that mean a young rooster?

Yes. Pullets and cockerels are females and males under a year of age. Once over a year of age, you have a hen or cock. Rooster can mean a male of any age.

And don't be sorry, asking questions is always a good thing! It means you're learning.
