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

[Chickenmom55]

This is a 7 week old OEGB, and I am pretty sure it is a cockerel, but I want to be completely sure. What are your thoughts?

Age matters! How old is it?

About 5 weeks old

With that big red comb at 7 weeks, it has to be a cockerel.

Pullet or roo? Can anyone say for sure?

[GALLERY=][/GALLERY] is it a rooster or hen?! Thanks...

Only 5 weeks! When the comb turns bright red like that at such an early age, you have a cockerel.

Sorry, my Polish experience is zero. His top looks a little spiky, which I've heard means cockerel, but I really don't know. Maybe there is a Polish thread where someone can help.
@Yorkshire Coop do you know the sex of this little chick?

That is what I figured. I thought I heard an attempt at a cockadoodle doo this morning lol, and he is very aggressive toward the other chicks. He is very sweet with people, but not so much with other chickens lol

Just like a boy, he is an energetic adolescent. When the hormones really kick in, around 12-13 weeks, you may find some changes in his temperament.

I have an 11 week old barred rock who is supposed to be a pullet, but I'm not so sure. Can anyone help out?

Picture:

Also, how accurately can you tell his/her gender just from this picture? If you need any more angles, please let me know! Or is there a way of telling that can't be found from a picture?

Any help is greatly welcomed!

Makes sense. Thanks a bunch!
