Is this a rooster?

[jbonoma]

I am assuming yes because it started crowing today...but help!!

Yes, you clearly can see thin hackle feathers. I bet he has saddle feathers too.

Here is another shot.....

What are hackle feathers? This is my first time having chickens

 

[Happy Chooks]

Hackle feathers are neck feathers. Males have shinier, thinner, more pointy hackle feathers.

And yes, he looks to be a cockerel.
