Before I get rid of "him" I want a second opinion.....My favorite bird we now think is a rooster so I can't keep it.......

it does look like a rooster, but im not 100%. If u can, then wait until u know for sure (eg. crows or lays an egg)

and also, welcome to BYC

How old is it? I'm leaning towards pullet, actually.

 

[wwfroggy97]

Not positive on the age but I think they were hatched mid January.......the red one in the picture has a more obvious comb. This one is more in between.

It looks like a boy. I don't believe hens come in that coloration and the hackle feathers look pretty pointy. Do you have a picture of its comb?

 

[Rocky Rhodes]

I don't see anything that screams rooster. I would wait a little longer, and listen for attempts at crowing.

 

[wwfroggy97]

I can't get great pictures of them they run from me still......But we know the solid white is a beautiful hen but here's another picture I got of them, I'm still fairly new to the chicken thing, got my first hens a little less then a yr ago.

Could you get a good photo of its tail? I'm thinking pullet.

 

[wwfroggy97]

Tail.......that's what made me ask this!!!! Looks roosterish to me..red one behind it rooster right?

Hackle feathers are very pointy, tail is way too pretty to be a girl! It looks like a rooster to me.
