so what was the outcome? Hen or roo? I have a 2.5 week baby that hubby thinks is cockerel but I think is pullet. Barring is pretty defined but dark color as opposed to the lighter gray of the roosters and just beginning to see signs of a comb.
She was a pullet and became our alpha hen. Unfortunately, she became ill at about 1 year old and we had to end her life after trying everything to save her including tube feeding. She was a good hen. Kept her eye on everything and everyone and kept peace in the flock. We added another batch of chicks this spring and are still enjoying chicken keeping.
