Okay so now the Jersey is 17 weeks. It is very clear now that the Mystic Onyx is absolutely a pullet, but that Jersey is suspicious lol. Here are some updated pics. The comb is not huge but it looks like it has saddle feathers? It used to have a few tall dropping feathers at the top of the tail but they fell out of maybe were plucked by another chicken? Not sure.

I would still say pullet

I feel like it’s a pullet too. Jersey Giant roosters have huge wattles. But I’m definitely not an expert. Floppy rounded tail feathers aren’t the same as skinny, pointy, saddle feathers. I sure hope you have a pullet there! Looks like one to me!

I see what you mean. I just looked up saddle feathers for roos and they are really pointy where this bird doesn't have pointy saddle feathers.

Weirdly, I was so stressed at the prospect of having a roo but over time I've come to really like the idea so I'm actually a little bit sad hahah.

I agree with people saying that jersey giants will have huge combs and wattles if it was a rooster, but look at the tail feathers .

(I still think it’s a pullet, but I have had jersey giants be under developed before.)
