Rooster or hen?

Y'ALL

I think TSC gave me another cockerel disguised as a pullet.

Look at that tail. That's a rooster tail, right??? Ay yi yi...

How old?

Can you get better pictures of the saddle area?

If I recall correctly, I picked them up at the end of July and they were a week old. So about 4-5 mos. The issue at hand is there was... I guess you could call it crowing this morning. It sounded more like a really hoarse yell or croak.

I will try. She (he?) doesn't like to sit still for photo time.

Okay, I can wait.

Do any of these help?

Ugh, I just noticed how dirty the water bowl is. I need to get out there and do some cleaning.

He's definitely a cockerel.

Thanks for adding more photos! I agree, that is a cockerel. Vent sexing isn't foolproof, most hatcheries advertise 90% accuracy.
