Now this one (Audrey) has me wondering. It seems to be a common color for a girl, but has a puff at the tail base and a pretty big tail. The pictures aren't very good cause it is kind of skittish...IMG_4173.JPGIMG_4174.JPG

Red is leaking in all over. New shoulder feathers are looking white.

Looks like a pullet to me... I think you'd see more condensed red on the shoulders rather than here and there all over if it was a cockerel.

She's definitely a pullet. The size of her tail looks normal to me. My girls all had/have larger tails than some of my other breeds, but they're all girl!

Thanks!  Yes, I think I'm going to have to hold on to them for a bit longer to see how they play out.  I took a hard look at the white and black one with red yesterday and if that is a hen, she is the tallest hen I have ever seen.  From the body up, she looks hen, but man those legs are long.

Here are the 'most likely suspects' a few weeks older.  I now suppose they are all pullets, but hey... who doesn't like looking at pics? We are at 11 weeks now, I think.

 

Suspect #1  (in foreground, both pics):

Thank you BH!  They really are sweet birds, shy too.  

 

Illia pegged them all as pullets... Where in the world is she?  I hope all is ok in her world, her expertise on this thread has helped me sooo much.
