Okay so I've got 4 chicks and 3 of them look like the one on the left with no large red crests on their head. Just small yellow ones.
This one lil baby has big red flaps and crest growing every day. Is it a rooster? If so I will be quite upset because my township jas laws against owning loud rooster and ive become quite attached.
So my question is is this just a chicken with different features or possibly more mature (not the biggest btw)?
Will post close ups.
This is the chicken in question. Another one got in the shot for good comparison.
Another reason I can't get rid of it is that I've been led to believe that the chickens are the heir to a large fortune, but only if all four are together to claim it.
But that's a story for another time and place.
are they all the same age?

The one on the right in this pic is definitely a male, given they're both the same age
yes, it's a rooster
Usually you only have to get rid of roos when a neighbor complains. You may be able to befriend or bribe them so they don't tattle. Good luck! ;)
Last resort you could castrate him before he fully matures. He won't crow if you do. And it also makes them delicious...but i am assuming he isn't a meat bird

Forgot to mention, i think it is very unethical to do that, but it works. My grandfather was a farmer and had 100s of chickens...several times
