11 Week Welsummer - Pullet, right?

[Branch Chickens]

When this baby was 3-4 weeks old, it had black on its chest, and I was told that that meant it was "for sure" a cockerel. Now, at 11-12 weeks, I can't imagine it's anything but a pullet. What do you think?

Cherry (Teddy's "sister). Notice how much lighter her coloring is.

Is the difference in coloring due to poor hatchery quality? The two look similar, but not the same, if that makes any sense

Yeah probably.

Definitely a pullet! They are both very pretty.
