To roo or not to roo?

Now I have this chicken crowing each morning along with the others. Sounds definite to me?

What is the roo in your profile pic? The one I'm keeping is maturing to look alot like him. He's a bit shy, but so sweet to my hen (they are rarely apart).

That last request was for 'chillin with my peeps' about the roo in profile pic.

this is a buff orpington, that I have been told is a pullet, you can see more pics (a lot more, lol!) on my thread about him/her being a him/her, but this one is only about 3 months old.

and it is normal for at 5 months combs and wattles to be very red because the pullets usually come to point of lay (POL.)
