Is my speckled sussex a rooster?

[Audry]

I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but I want to be wrong... so posting anyway. 14 weeks old. Was totally oblivious till (s)he crowed yesterday morning and I actually looked for signs of her not being a her. This is our only speckled sussex, so we had no basis for comparison.

Thanks.

Looks like my SS roo looked. They are not an easy breed to see the difference, but the crow kind of gives it away.

I agree with roo. Looks like very rooish tail feathers!!

I vote roo too....
But then, two of my hens, who are close to 9 months now, turned into roos 5 days ago

Rooster with out a doubt.

::big sigh::

thanks everyone. Now we have to figure out what to do with him... if he makes a racket our neighbors will complain, and we could be forced to get rid of all our chickens. We can't eat him after thinking of him as a pet for 14 weeks... If anyone lives near Charlotte, NC and wants a speckled Sussex rooster, let me know.
