Still pullets, but not really seeing brahma here.....are they a project?

Both are pullets

Keep in mind "spent" can mean jyst 18 months old, depending on the cycling being used by the producer...dome will do a force molt and then keep through the second cycle, others dont bother

In young birds, yes, the "crowing hens" people talk about are mature birds that experience a shift in later life due to various causes. And your pic only confirms it....you have a cockerel

Because they do.....not being flippant, but that's the answer. Production bred lines, such as these, have lots of high production genetics bred into the parent stock breeds used for them. Leghorn isn't a primary breed used, because their dominant white does not function the same as silver in...

This is one of those that I would have in my questioning group where I sorting birds in my own flock. There is more comb, and more importantly color, then one would typically expect to find in a pullet at 9 weeks (even of this breeding)but less than one would expect to see in a cockerel at this...

Ee cockerel. Male saddle/hackle feathers are still a few weeks out, but the darker shading on the wingbow and that comb relative to age = cockerel

Feathered yellow shanks....so not marans (they are white legged).....single comb......not seeing anything in their list for the assortment that matches. Did you receive exactly the number ordered? If an extra was included it can be any breed they hatch

This is a good read on grit https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/the-science-of-feeding-grit-to-poultry.891051/

I brood as close to naturally as possible....a hen takes her brood out to forage for grit and natural food items in the first week. I introduce the same experiences at the same time. The increased activity promotes good gut motility, coupled with a natural day/night cycle and more natural...

All are female.

At 5 weeks that comb and wattle color can only mean cockerel.

That bird is all pullet

At 14 weeks that is a lovely pullet

Easter eager, pullet

Those are exactly what you were told they are....

Definitely a cockerel, the black feathering is clear and that red comb/wattle are u deniable

You have to find birds that are properly managed/selected/bred for that quality.
