Rooster?

Would you say this is a rooster? 3/4 months old. Barred rock cross
Thanks

Yup, notice the saddle & hackle feathering....Hackle is the neck (thin/fine feathers) & Saddle (flowing feathering) is where the back meets the tail. I've attached a pic of some pullets, different breed but just see the difference with the neck & back/tail feathering....Pullets have rounded feathering.

Thanks, was just double checking, i noticed the feathers on its neck but compared to its brothers seemed different, he must just be a little slower growing.

Yup. That's a cockerel!
I love the one golden tinted green Feather he has on his side! Hell be a pretty boy.

I aso have this lot of 7, they must be about 3 or 4 weeks, Probably to early to tell, and bad photos, i think 2 or 3 possible roos? Im hoping the white will be a hen.

A little early yet on the chicks, but I see 1 that is def suspiciously male.

When they are young the hens tend to grow wing feathers quicker than chicks. Something I've picked up in my chickens

Sorry auto correct hens wings grow faster than the cocks
