Is this one a roo????

Looks like you have a roo - his wattles are a lot bigger than the rest, and his saddle feathers are coming in too. Good luck finding him a home

 

Oh you bet that's a boy. So sorry.

 

Yep, looks like you've got a cockerel.

TSC will not take him back. If you have any local farms that raise chickens, see about contacting them. You could also put him up on PetFinder or Craigslist. Just keep in mind that if you're looking for a home that will add him to a flock for a permanent position rather than eat him, that it'll be much harder to find him a new home. So talk to your parents and get the search started now, before he crows and upsets the neighbors.

If you'll be replacing him with two additional birds, you'd probably do best to find pullets that are about the same size/age as what you've got. It'll make integration easier on them. If you go with chicks, you'll have to keep them completely separate from the rest of the flock until they're all of a similar size, because there's always pecking and uproar when adding new birds to a flock.

 

We got our favorite rooster when we bought 4 "pullets" from a hatchery. It happens - no matter how good they are at sexing baby chicks. The trouble with roosters is that most people want chickens for the eggs - and roosters aren't needed for that. Plus, that crow - usually loudly and often. I've had luck selling extra roos on Craigslist. Good luck!

 

Yes, he's definitely a roo. I would try to find a local farm, if you could.

 

Looks like a Production Red cockerel!

 

Look on craigslist or your feed store, those are great places. If you know of someone who raises chickens, see if they have a few they're willing to get rid of.
