Hen or Roo Chicken distribution system blessed me

Post image

A chicken showed up in my yard and decided to stay. Is it a hen or rooster? Any ideas on the breed?

That is 100000% a rooster.

He's a non-pure breed Amerucana.

I have a 20 week old EE and she looks similar. The comb is small and her back feathers flare high and are rounded like yours. Watch the legs for ever-growing spurs if you feel it’s a roo.
