I had this problem once. Our chicken looked exactly like that and turned out to be a boy. Good luck with your rooster!

My turn to ask, I am pretty sure its a Roo, one out of 30 ain't bad! I want to breed my own flock for sustainability so I won't have to worry about getting one later. Lots of black plumage on it's tail which is longer and more pronounced than the rest of the birds. the crest and wattles...boy right?

I'm in the same boat. One of mine has a longer and darker red comb and wattle. He is friendly though and eats out of my hand and likes his back scratched!

Defiantly a roo. I have an RIR who is older and has almost no comb or wattles. sorry

edit: I am responding to the original post. THen, I realized its from 2012

In my opinion, he definitely looks like a Rooster and sounds very distinctive for being a rooster with his behavior that you described

I have friends that had a chicken that was a boy/girl. They dubbed him Unik. Not sure how to spell it, That may the case as well!
