RIR hen or rooster?

[3s Company]

I purchased 3 "pullets" and think one might be a rooster. Just want to get an opinion before I trade him to someone for a hen. I've been waiting it out, but would like to make a decision soon.

Welcome to BYC! Glad you joined the flock!

If you aren't sure if its a rooster or a hen, I would post this under "What Breed Or Gender Is This?"

Thanks! I knew it, but just in denial I can't keep a rooster so he's going to a new home soon with a lot of girls

I think it may be a cockerel - how old is he in the photo?

8-9 weeks old

I hope you are able to find a good home for him. It's so hard when that happens.
