Rooster?

[mwaymo]

I posted here a little over a month ago and and was told it looked like my chicks were production Reds and a Red Sex linked. Unfortunately, they were really young and since then, the one that was identified as a Red Sex linked is looking more and more like a rooster to me. This is my first time with chickens so I am very inexperienced so even though I am like 95% sure, just thought I would make sure. We live in a neighborhood that definitely won't allow a rooster!

I may just be me but I think that's a roo.

He/she looks like a roo compared to the other chickens. How old is he/she?

 

[mwaymo]

They are about 8-9 weeks old

I'm a bit of a beginner, but your guy definitely looks like a cockerel to me, especially at that age.

At 8 to 9 weeks old I'd put my money on cockerel. I just can't get past the huge red comb, and the darker wing colour.

Sorry.
