3 week old ISA Brown Pullets... not sure if one's a rooster?

[margaret1657]

Ok, so now the chickens are getting to be about 4 weeks old, it's crazy how fast they grow. Here are some updated pictures, they look so different:


This one is definitely a pullet, it's got tons of brown. I'm just using the other chickens' pictures to compare to the one I think could be a cockerel.



This one is also a pullet. Again, just a comparison picture.



Alright, this one's the suspect. I've noticed it keeps getting whiter, but it has a little bit of golden brown.



This is the suspect again. I got a face shot since I noticed its comb is also a bit bigger than the other chickens' combs.



One more pic of the suspect, just to get a good idea of what it looks like.



This one I'm pretty sure is another pullet.



This one's a pullet.



This one is also a pullet.




So, I'm really not sure. Does anybody know if that suspected chicken is a cockerel or a pullet? It's so hard to tell, but it's showing a lot of signs, such as the mostly white feathering, and the comb development. Does anybody know? Thanks.

(P.S. please ignore the poops in the background. )

I have the same issue/questions! But I don't know how to make my own new thread.. I'm a newbie. 6 RSL (ISAs) from TSC came from townline hatchery. They are starting to get red feathers in most places but wings are still pretty creamy. They all had golden colorations when I picked them up at a few days. All their combs and lack of waddle formation suspects pullets. What do you think!?

Youll need some closer pictures and maybe wait till they are a bit older.

I agree, they need time to grow out their feathers, it's extremely difficult to tell when they're that young. Btw, if you want to know how to start a thread, you just go to the forum that you want to post in, and there should be a blue button in the corner that says start a new thread. Hope this helps.

When do you think they theyre wing feathers will become red? If you think hey will. I know the reddish/gold chicks are supposed to be female, white-male... From the few other photos I've seen they are way darker by this time or in a week... I had no idea what they could be but from looking at towlines egg laying breeds there are only two options from there: ISA Browns and 'red cross' which I thought were the same thing LOL

It's still possible for that one to be a cockerel but very hard to tell. Usually, at least for my chickens, they start getting their red feathering around 2-3 weeks of age, I think the earliest to tell would be when they actually start their "ugly duckling" phase, that's when they have half feathers half down. Honestly, you never know with TSC. One time, my mom's cousin got 10 "pullets" from there, but 9 of them turned out to be roosters. Could you keep us posted on how they grow?
