Is my she a he?

He's cute. I love having a rooster. I would try to make nice with the neighbors so you can be sure they won't report you. Offer them some free eggs and make sure they know they can tell you if he's driving them nuts. My neighbor says she loves hearing my rooster crowing, and I'm glad to know that, since we're technically not zoned for more than 6 hens, and I keep about 18. (On 3 acres in the country -- our zoning is stupid).

I’ve been considering that or how to. We live on a “equestrian” street and our 5 acres is one of smallest lots. We are also one of the few neighbors without horses and chickens already. I’m worried because we never hear a rooster crow. Buttering you with fresh eggs won’t do me any good, I’m just hoping maybe I can’t hear any of their roosters (fat chance, probably). Rooster are not allowed in our county.

Is it better to find somewhere for him sooner than waiting and seeing?

That depends on you.

Sooner gives you less time to get fond of him. Longer lets you feel more sure about his gender.
