Rooster with one wattle

Unfortunately, all roosters crow. If he doesn't crow then he is a hen.

It seems that all normal roosters crow.
But this one doesn't seem quite normal.
So at present, I wouldn't try to predict one way or the other.

I'm pretty sure I see male-specific feathers (narrow & pointy) in the hackle area, and maybe in the saddle area as well (not quite so sure there.) So I'm pretty sure he is a cockerel, not a pullet.

(And some hens crow too, just to confuse us!)
 
Nothing to worry about! Are his saddle and hack feathers pointed or round?
I think they look pointed.

I’m new at this but I’m almost 💯 percent sure he’s a rooster and because he’s not quite normal, I’m hoping he won’t crow. I’ll keep you updated. So far not a sound 😆

Ya, he looks like a rooster. i was questioning it at first, but a closer look at his saddle and hackle feathers concluded you are right as far as I can tell.
