Roo or Hen?

[ClaraCluckChicken]

Hi! This is an almost 3 month old Chocolate Orpington that we don’t know what he is yet. He is huge which makes me guess Roo. But the other two roosters his age (different breeds) have started crowing and he has not. Any ideas?

Definitely a male. They crow when they're ready. It can be any time. Also, when other males are present they can prevent lower ranking males from crowing.

Roo. Some don't feel the need to crow or start later

100% Rooster.
See the drooping saddle feathers?

He definitely seems to be lowest on the totem pole too..he’s so shy.
