What kind of chicken and is it a boy or girl?

[Nattydson]

Hello,

I bought chicks from craigslist.
That was a valuable lesson in and of itself.
Anyway, one of them I thought was growing up to be a hen. My roosters hump her and she doesn’t have a large comb. Then she started crowing, only her crow sounds different from my other two roosters. Like instead of cock a doodle do, its like cock doooooooooooo.
Then i noticed the bird in question started humping all of the hens, and generally walks around fluffing her wings up, and strutting around like a rooster.
What do you all think? I am an extremely novice chicken owner, just under 1 year of experience.

It's a rooster. Probably a Brahma/Easter egger mix.

Wow thank you! I’ve been researching breeds all morning and just googled that mix and it looks just like him!

Thanks for the help everyone!
I just kept reading roosters have large combs! Today i learned, that is not true for all of them!

Definitely a rooster, and he is beautiful! His comb gives it away but also roosters have more fancy feathers on their tail.(they are the curled feathers)
