Seven month old Lemon Orpington started to crow this morning. Is it really a roo?

Sure I've watched this chicken become HUGE but was always convinced she was a hen. This morning she tried to crow. It was weak but she tried over and over and over and seems to really want to get it down. I started to really look at her and now I'm thinking, is she really a he? Input please!

Definitely a rooster. A hen wouldn't have those large wattles and comb, pointy hackle feathers, and darker coloring on the wings/neck. He's very pretty!

Absolutely a rooster, for all the reasons listed above.

X3. And just wondering....I see the 'no boys allowed' sign, is he allowed back in the coop?

LOL! Nice catch

LOL. Thanks for the help guys. I was in denial! Looks like "Ballerina" will be packing his bags. There's just no room in our "Girls Only" Bachelorette pad

It's a shame that he has to go. He is a beauty.

Why no room if you've had him for this long? If he's allowed where you live I say keep him. If there really is no room, I would make him a bachelor pad especially if he's a good boy. It seems he's a good chicken since he looks that way and is barely starting to crow.

What type of Orpington is he? A penciled or cuckoo or?? He sure is a nice-looking roo.
