hi! I did some research on BO roos and I’m pretty sure it’s a rooster, but I am not an expert. I recommend looking at some sources on BYC. Good luck!

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
It's a bit early to determine gender on your chicks. However, the feather pattern on the PBR is certainly leaning towards cockerel.
