Is this a hen or a roo?

Pullet, no doubt.

Awesome. So glad about that. Thanks.

Two cockerels? The last pic shows one black & white cockerel..

The one off to the side by itself, facing the rest of the flock is most likely a cockerel as well

These two are cockerels

Yes! Without a doubt. FYI - the black & white one (in the foreground) is the same age as “Rocco” (the blonde/golden white one in the very first pic I posted). It’s “Rocco” that I was originally asking about.

The black and white one is Elmo, definitely a boy, in his new home. He’s a gorgeous guy.. hoping his sibling “Rocco” (or maybe Raquel?), the very first pic I posted, is a pullet.

Bird the thread is about is a pullet. It has zero male traits.

Hi everyone! I’m a relatively new chicken dude who has had a terrible “rooster rate” (67%!) from a local farm store here in Sonoma County. As you guys know, roosters are tough to find homes for. Anyway, after a few weeks, we began to notice two of the three chicks we bought began exhibiting male behaviors and subsequently thought, “oh no...”. Both are Ameraucanas (or so we were told). We found a home for “Elmo” (formerly Florence Jean Castleberry) and began looking for a home for “Rocco” (formerly Ellie Mae). The only thing is... “Rocco” isn’t acting like a boy anymore now that Elmo is gone. Is “Rocco” a cockerel or pullet???

Here is another pic of the chicken in question... again, this is “Rocco/Raquel”
