Do I have a roo?

[spark2344]

Trying to figure out if I have a roo before chick season is completely done, all your thoughts are appreciated! I’ve been basing my assumption on the saddle feathers and behavior. Almost seven-week old Starlight Green Egger.

Not obviously

Pullet.

It's a pullet. If it were a rooster you would probably heard him crowing at that age and it would be very obvious in looks and behavior.

I'm gonna disagree with the other answers. I think it's a rooster. The feathers are very pointy and at 7 weeks it's not given that he would have startet crowing yet.

I would say pullet at this point, it seems like the pointy feathers are an optical illusion from the coloring. If it’s a roo you’ll see the comb and wattles start to redden up earlier than the rest at the same age. At this age you may or may not have heard crows, some are late bloomers. Wait a couple weeks and check again.
