Roo or hen?

[Orthopod]

Really skiddish compared to the other hens and roo. Has always been a bigger bird. I believe he is a roo - I think I see saddle feathers but he has barely any comb.

this Easter egger is 17+ weeks.

Male. Pretty sure that's gender specific patterning

That's a cockerel.

He’s gorgeous.

Yeah - so much for the “guaranteed” pullets - kids are bummed that they won’t get colored eggs but is what it is.
