In my flock of 20 chickens I have one New Hampshire red that I think might be a rooster. It's not really any noisier than the others, but it has a more developed comb than the others, and it's the first one in/out, and it stands taller than the rest. Maybe I'm just paranoid that I didn't end up with 100% pullets?

They're all 4 months old.

I almost thought that was a joke at first...then I realized that this actually does happen cause I read it here first! At BYC!
 
Wow. I hope that's not the case because then I'd want to keep him around :-)
Thanks for the link to the article, it was really interesting.
 
If you post a picture people could tell you whether it's a roo -- they have pointier neck and saddle feathers than a hen.

Good luck,

Pat
