Is my rooster actually a rooster?

[Faithm21]

His tail feathers are far more broad than I expected them to be. I thought roosters had pointier feathers near their tails. Is it possible he is actually a she? He is a d’uccle bantam

Yep! That’s a cockerel!!!! His saddle and tail feathers will grow in shortly.

Definitely a cockerel. They have normal tail feathers, sickles and pointed hackles, which I think you’re referring to, they don’t start growing till they’re about 3 months old.

Thanks! I was a confused because my other rooster has pointy feathers already and I thought maybe he would be a hen lol!

Thanks! My other rooster has already started crowing and has the pointy feathers. I guess this one will be following him soon !
