Is This a Hen or a Rooster?

[TerreHauteRoost]

We recently purchased a beautiful Andalusian in October from McMurray's Hatchery from a group of six pullets. As it grew we started to notice how long feathers were growing from its neck, a large waddle and comb, and increased skittishness. We already (accidentally) got a rooster from purchasing from a local backyard flock in August, and we aren't looking for any more excitement in the pecking order with only seven hens. We are looking for additional confirmation on the gender of our Andalusian.

Yep, a cockerel
They're hard to sex.

That's a cockerel.

Hey, thanks so much for your reply. It's what I was afraid of. Oh well, we'll make it work.
