3 month old: what sex?

[Yolksetta]

Hatched this one just over 3 months ago. Believe she is a Wyandotte. Do you think it’s male or female?

Pretty little pullet! No crowing for this gal!

 

[JedJackson]

It's a pullet, and likely a black Wyandotte. Pretty bird!

Black Wyandotte pullet.

I actually thought it was a boy, my adult hen Wyandottes barely have wattles at all, much smaller than yours.
I just have a weird feeling it's a boy. But for your sake I hope it's a girl

If you know what to look for, a chicken of this age is very easy to tell which gender it is. For starters, a cockerel will have a more erect posture. If you held up a stick perfectly vertical, it would run pretty much from his neck and head straight down through his legs. A pullet has her legs more centered in the middle of her body with her head offset.

A cockerel of this age has a very red comb and wattles. A pullet's comb and wattles are pale right up to point of lay. The cockerel has thin, pointy neck feathers and saddle feathers, and maybe even some sickle feathers beginning to shoot out from his tail. A hen has rounded feathers on her saddle and neck.

Oh, and a cockerel will probably be trying to crow by this age, a dead give-away.
