Rooster or Hen?

[KyllaLace]

Hi,
I bought this chicken off a friend and she told me it was a hen. Apparently the Rooster has two combs and the hen only one. My chicken only has one comb but I caught this chicken mounting another one.

Thanks!

That's a male, cockerel/rooster depending on age. You were 100% misinformed.

I already have a rooster in there. Any suggestions on separating or the next steps?

Best just rehome him. Sounds like you don't really need another rooster.

Cockerel, and I agree with the suggestion from Gray Farms. Cut your losses and possible future aggravation.

Without a doubt, cockerel. Either whoever sold him is new to chickens, or you got duped. However, he's lovely.

Ya return him for a refund to your friend.
The reaction may decide if you need to cut your losses there also.

Totally a man-chicken. The big fancy tail feathers were the first thing that stood out to me.
