what do you think is this a rooster or a hen? he looks like a rooster to me, he's 4 month old and has wattles, but his brother has stared growing and has bigger wattles, but this one hasn't started growing yet, and he acts like a hen, for example he runs a way from his brother when they start fighting and makes hens sounds hers a link of a video:
the hen in this video makes the same sounds as my chick.

I'm so confused with this, haha, he looks like a rooster but acts like an hen and if you have any idea how I can figure out what gender he is them please share. :)

I should maybe take a better picture tho, I think my hens have went inside now so I'm going to take a new picture just tomorrow :)
 
If he’s already getting full red wattles and comb that could indicate he’s a rooster. I had two rooster both that were scared of all my hens until he matured and got bigger that them. Shortly after starting to attack the hens they started attacking us (we had them both at different times not together.) if you have a small flock like me, I have only four hens, then you should start looking for someone to take a rooster before he gets mean because it’s really hard to go outside with this big ole rooster :/

Hope this helps...

I keep him with my other 11 chicks, but my adult flock is small tho but the chick coop is big, his brothers have got new homes and one of them will leave this weekend but the other will leave next week so maybe I can try find him home to
I was so quick to be asked for his brothers so maybe he will be quickly asked for as well :)
thanks you for your help
