Jubilee Orpington :: Cockerel or Pullet?

[ariella29]

Hi there! Our sweetheart, Mabel, is 15.5 weeks and I'm starting to worry that she's a he, because of her tail feathers and the way she struts around. What do you all think? If anyone has jubilees, please share pics! Photos of young ones are hard to find! Thanks.

Pullet. I've noticed over the last few years that I've been raising Jubilees that cockerels have a lot more white than the pullets when they are young. A chick that's nearly 50% white when 4-5 weeks or older is almost always a cockerel. They molt out the white later though.
