Please not a Rooster! :-(

I really hope i am wrong about this one. I bought a couple hens at the fleamarket or so i thought. This pretty easer egger looked so much like a pullet but now im seeing what i think are saddle feathers and he/she is giant.

I know the pictures suck, they are the best i have. If you need me to i will go catch it and get better photos but im thinking the tail feathers are going to be a giveaway.

He's a boy, I'm sorry.

Cockerel.

Yup, boy.

Cockerel. Red wing bars are a male specific trait.

Yeah cockerel, sorry.

 

[TheOddOneOut]

Boy.
Pics of your other "hens"?

Pretty boy. On the bright side, he's not a "rooster" until he crows. You might be able to incubate some of the eggs that he fertilizes which would give you the chance to enlarge (pun intended) your flock with his offspring providing you with larger birds for the freezer and possibly larger eggs from his daughters.

Male saddle feathers for sure.
