Bantam Leghorn Pullet or Cockerel?

[Aklady318]

This is the first time I've had a Batman. 18 weeks old and not crowing yet. No eggs yet either. I'm leaning Cockerel but those legs are so small and my other leghorn hens have waddles so I'm just not sure...but I know You Knoe

I really hope so! Such a sweet and friendly bird.
Pretty red so I should get eggs soon.
I have a dumb newbie to bantams question. I know the flock she came from, there are no bantams in it...are bantams random and can be from the same flock? Will her offspring be all bantams or can there be normal sized offspring from her?

You probably won't have eggs that soon.
Some chickens are just born smaller even though both parents are standard.
If you breed her with standard sized chickens, her offspring would range in size from bantam to standard. If you breed her with a bantam, her offspring will be bantam.

Thank you for such an informative answer.
I was Praying y'all would say pullet! I just found out (on byc) I have a bantam gamefowl mix...and I also have a Small BCM pullet!! I'll save that for a breeding thread. Thank you

I personally think cockerel

I think it's a pullet too given that it's a leghorn. I love that you switched bantam with batman in your post. I want to call all my little guys batmans.

Are you sure it is 18 weeks? That bird looks younger than that.

Looks closer to 8/9 to me.
