Not Sure If You've Got A Pullet Or Cockerel? Click Here! Thread 2

I posted a few weeks ago here and just took some updated pics today. They will be 8 weeks tomorrow and I'm now really thinking that of my two Easter Eggers (both pictured here), one is looking more like a cockerel with that comb color and what appears may be turning into 3 row pea comb? Any signs of hope this could still be a pullet? I bought them sexed from a feed store as day-old chicks. Thanks!

Both are pullets.

Really?! I would be so thrilled! Thanks for looking at my pictures, Junebuggena!

Yep. I have had plenty of pullets with three row combs. And I've had cockerels that only had a single row. It's not the most reliable way of assessing gender.

Polish are cockerels and the bo looks to be a hen for now.

A few pics from this morning as he/she was very happy to pose! Almost 12 weeks here and he/she spars a bit with the Polish Roos, hackles up and all.

This pic unfortunately looks more like a cockerel. Still maybe an early developer if purchased from a hatchery. @junebuggena can give you a positive answer. Do you see any saddle feathers?

I'll take a look when I get home but I haven't noticed any poking out. I've never seen any of my other pullets spar like this little chook.

Pullets do it quite a bit too, but I'm still thinking you have a cockerel.

I agree. Some of my more dominant hens have gone as far as raising their hackles at intruders lol. I have a bo pullet almost the same age and she isn't that red yet. I think cockerel too but the lack of saddle feathers in the pic is throwing me off..

Updated photos of my chicks. I am pretty sure on gender of all but the SLW, but I'd like to see what you think! They are all 9-10 weeks old.

EE Cockerel?




SLW pullet? (comb was red early and has gotten deeper red, but has not grown upward)




GLW pullet?




Light Brahma pullet?




Oprington pullet?
