Uh oh. Hen or roo?

[Copakat]

Bought four sexed buff Orpington hens from a local feed store. One seems bigger and now it’s crowing. And it’s comb is bigger than the rest. I’ve read that some hens can crow because they are dominant. So, can y’all help me out? Lol

I’m not familiar with the breed but I’d say rooster.

I’ve gotten “sexed” birds before that we’re not correct

Crowing combined with that large of comb and wattle is definitely a cockerel. Looks like his hackle and saddle feathers are coming in too.

That is a buff orpington cockerel.

Thank you all! I had a feeling he was a roo. I’m in the city and can really only have hens. I’ll just keep him until someone complains. With the neighbor behind me who has noisy hens and other ppl who have dogs that bark all night, I think he will be safe for a while. He’s such a pretty, funny little guy.

He is all boy.

Looks like a hen or turned rooster,it’s male feathering isn’t very good.
