Is this a roo or female?

This chicken is so sweet, but the company we got it from put it in for free (wish they didn’t), and it does NOT mix well with our chickens. I’ve tried everything, and I don’t have room to just leave it by itself so I’m trying to find it a new home that has it’s breed. They keep pecking it’s head . Can anyone let me know if it’s a hen or a roo? Thank you!

You're welcome.

If you have a large dog crate, you can have him in that for proper see no touch introduction.

I do, and I appreciate your help. Do these typically do better with smaller chickens (bantams, etc. I guess this is a Polish crested?). We have wyandottes and orpingtons and they are savage to this poor guy.

He's new, & has disrupted the pecking order. It's usually chaotic introducing new birds.

Yes, that's a male.
