Hello my name is Phillips I've been raising chickens for about two years now in Florida. I just recently got some new chick's and was wondering if I got a rooster. Any help would be appreciated.
Phillip! Your Golden Laced Wyandotte(?) does indeed look suspicious, but it's hen-feathered still, so... How old are they? 8 or 9 weeks? Is there any way you could post an entire picture of the Golden's body? ~Sarah

Thank you for the quick reply that's what has me confused. Big and red comb and waddle but rounded feathers and huge legs and the are around 6-7 weeks old
I'm going to say almost definitely a cockerel. The massive legs tip it off. He'll get sickle feathers within a couple weeks, right around the time he starts crowing... He's a handsome roo, that's for sure! ~Sarah
Yes he, I guess, is a golden laced wyandotte. And thank you he is a strapping young lad. I'm pretty excited he's a he. Never raised a rooster before
