Male or female?

I think this one is male, hatched the Sunday after Easter, no crowing yet. I will add pics of the others once we get a consensus on this one...

There are 3 of the 9 with these markings I think at least one more is a cockerel too. I will get more pics up tomorrow.

It looks like he is an EE cockerel.

Pretty boy! I love lemon on roos. The hackle and saddle feathers will be gorgeous when he's mature!

Lol. I will never know. He is getting invited to dinner (along with any brothers)I cannot have him crowing at all, I am going to do the deed today.

Completely understandable. I'm glad you are doing it yourself. I strongly believe that when you take on ownership of an animal, you are responsible for its life and its death.

I had a gorgeous EE cockerel this spring that unfortunately turned into a real jerk. I butchered him at 12 weeks and still managed to get 2 lb dressed out of him. He was so good looking but I don't tolerate aggression in my flocks.
