4 month old...pullets?

[Lyndzie]

I have two buckeyes and two white rocks, all suppose to be pullets. They are 17 weeks (4 months). Somehow, my favorite hen is laying fertile eggs suddenly. Either one of these girls is not a girl, or my 11 week old cockerel is a scoundrel.

First is Ponyo, White Rock:

Second is Boo, also White Rock:

Third is Muffin, Buckeye:

Fourth is Rexi, also Buckeye:

Let me know if you need additional/better images, and thanks in advance!

I think your 11 week old is quite a scoundrel.

All the birds posted look like females to me.

I agree! Silly little 11 week old!

Cockerels get the hang of it faster when they are around mature girls.

Thanks everyone! The gentleman in question is quite handsome, I’ll try to post a pic later.

All girls- Ponyo looks like a White Leghorn to me. Maybe.

Good point. Earlobe color doesn't match, but body type does. Keep an eye out for changing earlobes and egg color will be a true indicator. Leghorns lay chalk white eggs vs brown of Plymouth Rocks

Thanks for the input. I was wondering about the tail. We have a leghorn already, and Ponyo does not have that same flighty temperament, but that tail is a match. She has a heavier build, too. Now I’m curious to see those eggs! I’d be quite happy with another excellent layer.
