Poor lonely girl… thanks so much for your help!This one is a pullet. That means that you're going to need to get rid of her, get rid of all the boys, or separate them soon.
Thank you! I’ve tried looking things up online but I’m never fully confident in my findings!Yes, that one is definitely a male.
If you look at his back, in front of the tail, there are some narrow feathers with pointy ends. They are a darker red than many of his other feathers. They will grow long, and hang down to each side of the tail.
Those are male saddle feathers-- only male chickens have them.
A hen would have wider feathers, with rounded ends, growing from that part of her back.
That's in addition to the big red comb & wattles, and the crowing. So yes, he is certainly male.
Ohh boy… so much for the 90% hen sign at the store. I accidentally included one of the pictures twice. This is the fifth one. Is it also a cockerel?All cockerels.
