I know, I don't know what I have now. All I know is, I don't have what my husband was told he was buying at the markets which was a Welsummer Pullet. Rosie was our first chick so we of course were none the wiser. As soon as I saw the green feathers starting to come through and the cone getting bigger, I started to become concerned.

Is it really obvious around two to three months if you have a welsummer rooster or PulletI have some pics of my Welsummers at about that age.
Here are the girls.
They do have black in the tail, but it's not the glossy green black that roosters get. No black feathers in the neck area either. Just black markings on goldish feathers.
Here are the roosters.
(Ignore the girl on the right. Look at the four roosters on the left. They are about 15 weeks old in this pic.)
Here's a younger roo, about 12 weeks old. He is losing his speckledy brown body feathers and growing in dark red feathers on the body. That's a girl right in front of him, with head cut off walking out of the picture. She's brown, he's red.
Hope that was helpful!
