What gender is my 5 month old buff orpington

[Miguelwith6chickens]

Recently, she began to crow or cry in the morning, but acts like shes nesting when inside the coop. The whole thing has me confused. She just recently grew both her comb and wattles about a couple weeks ago. Since then, shes became a real asshole and acts like a spawn of satan

That's 100% a cockerel.

 

[ChickyCh00k]

I don't know much, but I know that's a cockerel!

100% a cockerel. Comb and wattles aside, he has male pointy hackle and saddle feathers. Many roosters will go in the nesting boxes to make sure the area is safe and show the girls where to lay.

Given that he's a jerk, future soup

 

[CoopBoots]

Oh yeah, he's got everything. The shiny gold feathers (the ladies just don't develop that shine in my experience), the comb and wattle for days. Shame about his attitude.

 

[Gavinthechickenman]

Yeah rooster

Agreed. Nothing tastes better and more satisfying than some “Spawn of Satan Noodle” lol
