Hello,
These are my first chickens. I hatched some myself and I also purchased a couple as day old chicks. I'm finding out I have more co kernels than I thought. Even the ones I purchased as females have ended up having at least 1 cockerel. So I believe this to be a pullet (3 month old Welsummer) am I correct?
Thank you for your help!

Unless the Welsummer "pullet" was actually the cockerel you posted earlier and this could be your Bielefelder pullet? I am not sure how you would tell the difference at this age (unless there were traces of barring, but only 1 of my Bielefelder hens show any barring), but probably can get an idea based on egg color and body size once she starts laying. Others might know better than me.

Oh OK. There is so much to learn! I really appreciate you taking the time to share!
