Basically- a pullet is a female chicken that has not yet layed an an egg. A hen is an mature female chicken.so hens right lol
Other Favorelle (Shawty “Shouty”) in the picture. Q constantly picks at her back feathers. They are the last two in the pecking order.Ok, posted when they were younger and got 2 pullers. But Q is turning black!! Is this just hatchery not true show quality, or is she turning to too?
The last ones are today. The rest during their 7 weeks (tomorrow)
They are definitely pullets.Ok, posted when they were younger and got 2 pullers. But Q is turning black!! Is this just hatchery not true show quality, or is she turning to too?

Definitely both boys lol, I would guess that some start late on the black feathering based on your experience, but the females don't ever seem to get any black, so once black shows up, I think it is safe to assume its a boy. Most of them though, based on my reading, start feathering with the dark/black quite early.I used this rule when I brought mine home. I have two of them that I've had since a week old. One had the wings of the rooster and one had the wings of the hens. Now I'm not so sure. My hen is very dark. She has lots of black on her. The other is a rooster and he is really starting to look like the pictures of the roos that I see. His saddle is brown, where as the other is not.
So I believe this one is the rooster. He always had the black on his wing.
Below is what I thought was the hen. She always had the salmon color on her wings as the chick. Then she has a lot of white and black in her here.
Now here they are at 10 1/2 weeks old. First the one I thought was a hen.
And here is Philip:
So what are your opinions?
