12.5 weeksHow old?
Love your mottled one. We’ve been trying to get another mottled but the one we had in the last batch died at a few days oldPullets that are one day shy of 16 weeks. A pullet should not (I say should because it can happen) have that much color before 20+ weeks. They should never have wattles that developed at 12.5 weeks.

You have a cockerel.

Haha, he doesn’t even have tail feathers, he’s so slow at growing em’Ridiculous fluff probably hard to see saddle feathers on that guy!
So we are both in this ‘hoping for a girl’ together!Hmm... those are big wattles, but I’m gonna vote pullet. Looks just like mine
Yup!So we are both in this ‘hoping for a girl’ together!
Hmmm I think it could go either way honestly, I had a Brochin Bantam (BrahmaxCochin) and at the same age he looked like thisUgh, sorry they are sideways. This one has more comb and wattle size and color than its partridge-colored counterpart, but no crowing, and way less comb and wattle than our previous black BC roo did at the same age. What’s your verdict?
One thing is for sure, It's definitely a chicken! (Well that's something, anyways)I feel like this one could go either way. He/she has a big comb and wattles for 12.5 weeks, but I feel like he/she would have more if it were a cockerel. I think I'm leaning towards cockerel for now, but it could still be a girl.
