Everybody thought she was a cockerel, because of her/his black breast when she was younger. This is her at 4,5 weeks.

Here he is, in front of one of his sisters, with their mother in the background. Still looks like a pullet to me, at 15,5 weeks. Most of the pullets are developing a red comb by now. What do you think? Still a cockerel, or do you think he is a pullet after all?

At 9,5 weeks, together with one of his sisters. Still no visible comb. His breast is now spotted with white. The second picture is of his brothers. I really love his random mixed-breed colors. It looks like he was colorised by a 1-year-old with no hand coordination. 😄🥰 Is the red caused by the...

Do you think there are any genes who make his comb grow much slower than his siblings? Or is it because he is crested?

Updated pictures of the chick (red ring around the pictures of it) and his siblings, at 8,5 weeks. He still looks more like a pullet except from the black breast. He behave like a pullet as well.

I think so too. I will post updated pictures in a couple of weeks. 😊

Is it possible that the crest is stunting the growth of his comb/wattles then? If he’s a cockerel, he is the only one with a crest.

Pictures of the chicks from today, 6,5 weeks. I have never had a cockerel who has looked so much like a pullet, if she really is a cockerel. All her brothers has large, red combs and wattles by now, and her sisters (?) looks just like her. Both their parents have large combs and wattles as...

Here is two pictures of two different cockerels (sibling and half sibling), and two pictures of the pullet/cockerel in question, taken today. Is it possible that the chick has another gene than e+ that makes the breast black, or is s/he a late bloomer for sure? 😅 You also wrote that s/he is...

One of her/his brothers are the other chick in the second picture. All of the boys have red combs by now. They are 5,5 weeks old now.

This picture was taken a week ago. The chick has still no visible comb or wattles. I have eight chicks from the same parents. Her/his four brothers has already big combs that has started to turn red. If it’s a boy, he must be a late bloomer. 😅 What makes you sure this is a cockerel? 😊

What do you think this hen’s genotype is? Her father is Fiftyfive Flowery silver, and her mother is either Cream Legbar/Swedish flower hen OR Cream legbar/Rhode Island red. The 55 Flowery is e+/e+, B/B, S/S and mo/mo. She is one of the darkest of these chicks, the others are her siblings.
