Not Sure if You've Got a Pullet or a Cockerel? Click here! thread 3

[ChickenLover200]

I posted on a breed specific thread a few days ago, but will try here too. They are approximately 5-6 weeks old, and were bought as pullets. I am concerned about the Barred Rock being a cockerel due to feather color, although she does have the black wash on the legs. Not as concerned about the Easter Egger to her left, but wouldn't mind guesses on her either. Wish I could get better picks, but they are camera shy.

I want to say both pullets, but time will tell

pullet close to laying, I think.

It's 7-8 weeks old

Oops... I was wrong then. Most likely a cockerel.

Light Brahma 16 weeks For comparison it's brother, same age: It's Sister. Again same age: So you can see this one in question is pretty much in the middle! The known Roo has had his comb and wattles nice and red for 5 or so weeks now and he crows so no doubt there.

I say slow maturing cockerel

Is this a EE or........???????

EE, I believe it is a cockerel.

Here's my jersey giant. 2-3 months old. Is it a pullet or cockerel? her feet are really big too. Please respond. Need to know

After seeing the amended age of 7 to 8 weeks, it is without a doubt a cockerel.

Look at the feathers on the back. The first two may have slightly different amounts of comb development, but they both have male specific saddle feathers. Compare those to the feathers on the back of the pullet.

I saw them. And I figured it was a he. Just wanted to be sure. Extra boys go to freezer camp next week.

Both of your chicks are way too young to tell. Post pictures again in four weeks or so.

I don't have any experience with this breed, but I have read on here that this breed is auto-sexed. I did a quick search and found this.

Yours seem very light in color.
