15 week old Columbian Blacktail - girl or boy?

[LynsP]

Hi! I wonder if anyone could tell me the sex of my 15 week old Columbian Blacktail? And if you can tell, how can you tell? Many thanks!

She's a pullet. At 15 weeks, gender specific feathering would be starting to show. The saddle feathers just in front of the tail are long, thin and pointed on a cockerel and wider, shorter and rounded on a pullet.

100% agree with DobieLover.
Most certainly a young lady.

Oh dear. We have gone from thinking we had three boys to possibly having no boys at all. Thanks for your replies.

It's easy enough to pick up a cockerel.
I wouldn't worry so much about that.
