Hen or rooster

[ckeene1990]

I have 7 splash laces red Wyandotte chickens, it’s my first time having chickens. They are a little over 2 months old, and I have one that has more developed facial growth and is much bigger and aggressive then the others, did we get a rooster? I have attached two pictures of it and a third to compare to the others.

The first pictuere is definitely a cockerel
Has he started crowing yet?

They're gorgeous! I think the first one is probably a rooster.

He's a cockerel. There's also a cockerel in the third picture. Not sure if it's the same bird.

Is it the growth on the side of their face that you can tell?

He has very big and bright wattles and comb. Pullets at this age still have small pale combs and wattles. He also has solid dark red shoulders whereas the females have clean laceing on their wings.

Ok, I have 3 with noticeable wattles, I will have to post a picture of the others later, if you wouldn’t mind taking a look. I ordered 6 females, and I think half of them are male.
