Rooster? (Picture)

[ChickonLand]

I have an eight week old Araucana (possible) Delaware cross. Does he/she look like a roo?

I compared the Araucana to the Leghorn which I'm pretty sure is a rooster... what do you think?

Thinner tail feathers?

Looks like a roo. Where did you get it from? Many hatcheries sell "Ameraucanas" and "Araucanas" but they are often actually called Easter Eggers.

A family friend gave us five fertile eggs, one of them was this chick. The father is either an Araucana or Dominque. Because of the chick's feather colors and the feathering on the Araucana Rooster, I believe the Araucana is the father.

I think so too. He's bearded, so that would point towards the Araucana.

You have an Easter Egger mix cockerel. Araucana are not muffed/bearded in North America.
