which one is the boy??

[burkey]

Hi all,
i was wondering if anyone could help me. i have 5 chickens. they are 8 weeks old and we have noticed that one of them has started to try to crow! so one is a boy, just not sure which one it is as we haven't caught it in the act. we think we know which one it is but dont want to do anything to soon.
Be great if you could have a look at the picture (sorry its not that great) and see what you think. the one we think it is, is pretty obvious.
thanks heaps.
Jase

That one that is more red and has a big comb... My money is on him

thanks for your reply. i was thinking the same. just good to be sure before it goes to that special farm. shame cause he was my favourite.

i was also wishing that magically they would all still turn out to be hens. hopefully he doesn't learn to really crow too soon.

It looks to me like the dark one furtherest to the right in the photo...looks like the biggest comb by far and has waddles.

the one furthest to the left is a cockerel

Don't think it is the one on the left. Pretty sure we busted the rooster this morning. Is the one on the right (mother hen)
Looks like I'm having roast soon.
Thanks everyone for your help.
