Looks like a Golden Laced Wyandotte rooster... not exactly that rare, IMO.

I likewise concur with the above.

Agreed...

I was pretty sure about the breed, but guys are you positive about the rooster part? Though my five year old grandson told me that we have four roosters, two which are roos as they crow, one is a buff brahma and is only 3 months old..... but I was so hoping for a hen! Theresa

Yep, that's a rooster alright. The saddle feathers prove it.

Thank God! I now have four roos. I have to say that I had problems with aggressiveness from Sheldon (Brown Star roo). I asked about it on the behavior forum & I followed the advice and he is no longer aggressive to me or my husband. I WILL NOT let the grandkids in the runs or coop because I was attacked by a roo when I was little, you don't forget it when it rips up your back! The Wyndotte is very gentle, calm friendly bird. I didn't plan on 4 roos. I have 21 females, do I need to rehome any roos? Theresa

I wouldnt if you like them . I have 4 roos with my layer pen they all get along pretty good.
