The Age Old Question! Help Me Out Here... Pullet or Cockerel

[3sacrowd]

Hi!

We have five younger chickens that we bought in February. They are all now 20 weeks. One has laid an egg so I'm sure she's a she... We just don't know about Inky, Winnie, and Olive. We *think* that LuLu is a girl because she squats but maybe she's a submissive he...

Here are their pictures:

Inky - Mottled Java



Winnie - Cuckoo Maran?


Olive - Easter Egger




Olive's Comb



Olive's Tail

Thanks so much for looking at this post!

I think the EE and Marans are definitely girls. I don't know anything about Mottled Javas, but the tail on that one looks girly to me as well. Hopefully someone more experienced will chime in. Lovely birds!

I agree, they all look like pullets to me, and I am sure on the Marans and the EE. I think if the Java were a rooster you'd be seeing a lot more comb and pointed feathers by now.
