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

Three month old Polish. No waddles or comb to speak of, is it a pullet or a roo?

Thanks. The feather pattern had us thinking she was a rooster for a while, but the rest of her is definitely looking girly! Lol

Ironically, the one we questioned the longest about whether or not it was a rooster is the first chicken to start laying in our little flock! Lol

So the one on the left has acted in ways that make me question sex from day one. Very protective, slightly aggressive at times, etc. no crowing though. Plus these 2 are same age (15 weeks) and same breed (white rock). The comb and waddle development makes me think I may have a rooster. What do you think?

Both female. You just have a pullet that is a bit faster to develop. She'll be laying in a few more weeks.

Yes. His comb looks too tall to be a female.

This 12 week old Silkie was sexed as a pullet and sold to me but pretty sure it's a roo. Its got streamers I think and a single comb (not the typical comb) plus acts a bit like a roo, always walking around while the other pullets sun bathe and not paying down with them.

Two more! 6 week old polish.

It's a little early but the new head feathers coming in around the comb look masculine. Or wet. Hard to say. Wait for the juvenile molt. All will be clear then.
