I'm leaning towards roo. It's hard to tell though.

I would say it's very easy to tell. A comb and wattles that large and red is only going to appear on a cockerel when the bird is that young.

Me thinks it's a ROO!!

Makes sense, its the most lovable,.feathered last, stands like the alien chicks on chicken little- tall and dorky. Also, today I watched HIM jump on one of the hens back while she was laying around, as if to say and do something barbaric to her. If the Comb and wattle weren't enough. Oh snap! I.CAN'T have roosters in the City!
Say, what breed of cochin do you think he is? Silver, blue..... and thanks to all of you for making this guessing game fun.

This was silver a few weeks old. I suspected him right away.

Guess who cocka doodled. We call him Salvador now, and he loves going to the kids community garden to play, and truck rides. Unfortunately, we can't keep him in our area. The kids are heart broken.

Have you thought of trying a rooster collar?

A rooster collar? Really! I've got to check that out.
