Rooster??

[LoveHuevos]

Our pullets are about 15 weeks. I've been keeping an eye on this particular one and the more I look at "her", "she" seems to look like a "he". We got them all at the same time and we bought them for laying eggs, not for making lots of noise at the butt crack of dawn.

Cock-a-doodle-do at butt-o'-clock indeed. I'm new at this, but it looks like a roo to me. A pretty roo though!

X2!! Very handsome

comb and wattles say roo, but HE looks pretty feminine to me lol, Thin long legs...look like lady legs to me

"She" is handsome isn't she?! And she's very slender. We really don't want a rooster so I'm not sure what we'll do with him. Rooster soup?
I'll post more pics soon so you can see him with his ladies.

A very nice bird, really. You could see if anyone might want him (assuming)... list in the for sale section?

I've read about voice-box surgery and such... risky. But if you kept him, you'll have more free chickens!

Here's my DD holding another one - I just wanted to show you their difference in size.

If she is a rooster, when would he start "cock-a-doodle-doin'?"

I think that's for sure a rooster.

I've heard anywhere from 6 weeks (at least an attempt) to several months.

We'd like more of a, "Cock-a-doodle-don't-wake me up so early"!

I'm getting a little sad because I know that we probably won't keep him, but I've gotten a little attached to him and he's so handsome!
What other signs should I look for if "she's" a "he"?
