Hi,

We recently purchased what we thought were hens. As the chicks grew , one began crowing in the morning (cock a doodle do:/). Could someone let me know if this looks like a rooster? This is our first time owning chickens.

Thanks
Roby

Yes, that's a rooster, and although it is partially obscured by the hardware cloth the bird in the pen looks suspiciously like a rooster also.

Thanks so much! That explains a lot!

Yep, they both look like roos to me, too.
