Suspicious looking Spitzhauben "hen" 12 weeks old

It's a cockerel. But I'll tag @Faraday40 who has raised them before. I don't think @allen wranch is active any more.

If only 3 mo old, then cockerel. Females’ wattles don’t drop down until they’re laying. Here’s a 6 mo old pullet below.

Awesome. That helps so much! Thank you. I’ve arranged to drop him off at a farm this week. They had one Spitzhauben pullet and had been looking for a Spitz roo. Hopefully he will be happy there with more room to fly around.

Glad you found him a happy home. Spitz roosters are beautiful, good protectors of their flock, gentle on the hens, but like to fly up into trees and crow a lot.
