19 weeks old... and I STILL can't tell!!! *pic* *EDIT It's A......*

Oh my gosh. This is my third I think post now with the same stupid chicken. S/he is now 19 weeks old. Everytime I get about 50/50 results so I just don't know. I was thinking hen but she really does chase around the other hens and pull their feathers out... it's really weird... I've never seen another chicken do that. (and they free-range)

Here is a pic, s/he is on the right, my rooster (who is obviously a rooster) (oh and neither of them is crowing yet) is on the left. Good comparison pic. There's my dog, going in for a tasty treat of fresh chicken poop.

oops, edit for pic, LOL

*EDIT*

It's a.......... BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got rid of the other rooster, thinking this was a pullet since that is what most everyone said. Every since the roo left (yesterday morning) this "pullet" has taken over his job of mating with all the hens. I can now only assume that this is a rooster. He is also developing pointy/long tail feathers.

Ok I might be wroung but I think the Left is a rooster and the one on the Right I think is a hen..

I think that you'd be getting some eggs from her soon! Nice looking pair!

 

[marytoast]

Looks like a "she" to me!

 

[McGoo]

I agree. Left a roo and right a pullet about to lay some eggs!

 

[Chicky Mama]

I would agree that it's the one on the right, the combs are quite different,the left one has a bigger blade.I've been told to try by weather the tail feathers are pointy(boy) or round(girl). I'm sure there's plenty of bossy hens out there.

our dogs also LOVE the poop.

 

[wjallen05]

man, and I was about to give her away as a rooster. LOL!

are yall sure it's a she? Why in the world does she chase around other hens?!?!

 

[wjallen05]

yall are silly. I know the one on the left is a roo, I've know that for about 3 months now.

I guess she's just a fast maturing hen? We have another BO, the same age, and she has no comb or wattles at all what-so-ever.

Hen, or pullet as the case may be.

Look at the tails, roos is longer, has sickles forming, also you can see saddle feathers developing.


Look for eggs soon

Body type is inbetween but I'm guessing pullet.
