Still thinking Roo?

Are we still thinking roster for this one? No crowing yet and doesn’t seem to lead the flock but

14 weeks old Splash Rock.

Thanks again all!

Yes, Cockerel!

Definitely a cockerel.

 

[JustBabyMargo]

Yup!

Dang guys! I was really holding onto Hope can someone explain how the feathers show he’s a male? My untrained eye is having a hard time seeing the difference between his and the other rocks… thanks!!!

Do you see that comb and wattles? They are really big for how young he is. When a cockerel gets older, you will see sharp feathers right by the tail and neck, all these signs point to cockerel.

Thanks! I had read that the comb and wattle weren’t always a sure fire way to identify so I was wondering about the feathers as well.
