Rooster or Hen? RIR.

No problem lol

you are really really mistaken about the difference between a rooster and a cockerel as these terms are used to discribe a male chicken. the more formale saying of rooster is cock

cockerel = a young male chicken
cock (rooster) = a mature male chicken
stag (which you may run into) = a matuer game cock

Well I was taught completely opposite to you.lol. Now I don't know what to think

A cockeral is a roo that is under 1 year of age. Just like a pullet is a hen under 1 year of age.

Yeah thanks, but I believe a pullet is a female that hasn't started laying yet.

via wikipedia:

In the UK, Ireland and Australia adult male chickens over the age of 12 months are primarily known as cocks, whereas in America and Canada they are more commonly called roosters. Males under a year old are cockerels.

Females over a year old are known as hens and younger females as pullets[7] although in the egg laying industry, a pullet becomes a hen when she begins to lay eggs at 16 to 20 weeks of age (most people on here will call these pullet eggs).

then theres this:
According to Storeys Illustrated Guide to Poutry Breeds by Carol Ekarius (2007) a pullet is a female chicken under one year of age

In Keeping Chickens the Essential Guide to Enjoying and Getting the Best from Chickens (2007) Jeremy Hobson and Celia Lewis describe pullets as "A female bird that is in its first year and has yet to commence laying."

According to Merriam-Webster's dictionary: : a young hen; specifically: a hen of the domestic chicken less than a year old.

Dictionary .com's "word origin" for the word pullet: mid-14c., "young fowl," from Anglo-Fr. pullet, O.Fr.poulette, dim. of poule "hen," from V.L. *pulla, fem. of L. pullus "young animal, young fowl." Technically, ayoung hen from the time she begins to lay until the first molt.

Pullet. A female chicken under 1 year old

Ok, people. Bickering gets us nowhere.

The OP has certainly found out that the bird in question is Male.

Thanks for your participation.
