What do you think now? I am guessing both are hens but wanted another opinion.Wait about one more week before posting them. So far, the one with more brown-ish feathers appears to be a pullet, as that color will be female-specific unless s/he starts to lose that color and replaces it with more red and gold, which would happen if it is a cockerel. The one with white-and-red feathers could go either way like the aforementioned bird; red wing bows on a white body signals a male, but that chicken's white feathers appear to be down that could be replaced into red as it grows. Overall, we will have to wait.
Both are definitely cockerelsWhat do you think now? I am guessing both are hens but wanted another opinion.
Both are for sure cockerels.What do you think now? I am guessing both are hens but wanted another opinion.
Just curious how you decided? The hackle feathers? I'm sure there's breed specific traits I'm missing; I apparently haven't done enough research yet. I got a bit overwhelmed with the variants in EEers and passed on them this season so I could learn more about them.Both are for sure cockerels.
