9 week old Araucana pullet or cockrel????

[gg706]

My roosters have found a home they leave at 6:30 tonight! I need help determining if this is a pullet or a cockrel. Please let me know what you think and how sure you are about your educated guess. Also if you know what color this is that would be helpful also.... Thank You

I say girl. Do you have any hatch mates to compare her to? But not for sure.

 

[gg706]

Yes I have others from the same breeder....I can't be positive they are from the same parents exactly. I was thinking girl at first...over the last week or so I have wondered though. So now I am not sure. There has been some sparing with some that know for sure are roos so the behavior is making my possibly change my mind from girl to boy.

I'd say girl too, they can still spar with boys

I'm going by the small pale coloured comb at 2 months would expect it to be redder if it was a boy.

Thank You!

Yeah. My lil roo spars with the girls also.

I have had several hens that sparred with the cockerels
