Is this a Rooster

[LanceG]

I know I have a rooster in my flock of 16. Just Not sure who it is. They are just over 6 months old. I think this may be him, what do you think.

maybe it's different with this breed but at 3 months my rooster had way longer tail feathers and was crowing

Does he walk around more upright than the others?

Forgot to mention, he is a black Australop.

Slightly, but doesn’t look that different.

Firstly, she's not an australorp. She has feathered legs and a hint of red to her neck. Could be a Maran. Which--good news--means you should get fairly dark eggs from her. Secondly, that looks like a girl to me. Do any of your "hens" have hackle feathers?

That's a hen. Could you post pics of the others?

Also, she looks older than three months. Looks like she's laying.

I will post pics of the others tomorrow. They are 6 months old, I may have posted wrong.
