Welcome to BYC. Post a picture of your "suspect" and we'll try to help. Can you not have roosters in your neighborhood?

I technically can have roosters, just not if my neighbors complain. I don't really want to put them in a position where they have to complain! I posted in the thread that seems to be about identifying and sexing chickens too, but here's the suspect. Between 11 and 12 weeks old. Barnyard mix.

We all were there once
Lurking, and then finally caved and joined!

Welcome!

This is a way better place to explore than the news sites or other social media
At least we all have a love of our flocks, and a passion for helping other people with their feathered friends - in common

There are SO MANY resources to comb through online! Easy to go down a wide variety of rabbit holes...

I can't tell for sure by the wattles and comb. Looks like it could be a roo. Do you see any formation of spurs forming?

Not that I can tell, no. No crowing either, of course. Legs look the same size as the pullet who hatched in the same batch. The tail feathers throw me off too.
