16 Weeks Ancona - Pullet or Cockerel?

[SpicyDisaster]

Meet Ferdie da Berdie, the chick that started it all. 16 weeks as of yesterday.

S/he's the most talkative of the bunch (15) and our only Ancona so I don't have a good comparison chick. Of all our breeds, s/he's got the largest comb that is the darkest and I'm hoping for cockerel. Out of 15 chickens I think he's the only chance we have

Always the first one out of the coop in the meeting and the first one to go in at night. The most talkative of the bunch and oddly enough the only one that stands up to our head hen Lulu.

What do you all think??

And my favorite from before digging in the dust this morning. The comb is brighter than it appears in the above photos.

She's a pullet.

Drat, I was hoping we'd get one roo out of the bunch.

Did you order females? Do you have pictures of your other chickens?

They aren't the easiest to photograph when not eating or puddling together. We did get sexed chicks and we're told they have a 90% accurately rate so I figured at least one would be a roo out of 15.

All pullets...lucky/unlucky in your case.

Definitely a pullet! She has laid us four white eggs in five days and is the first of all the chicks to start laying. You are all correct!
