boy or girl?

[chicksindenver]

Thanks in advance for any help!! This is my two month old blue americana. I am starting to think it may be a cockeral (it is very assertive, even backing down my 3 year old Brahama). I can't have a roo so I would like to give it way as soon as possible if it is one.

This is my two month old bantam barnevelder. I have no clue on this one.

I'm no expert, but the comb on the blue seems pretty red for 2 months, I have americaunas, mine are almost three months and their combs are still yellow and light pink. The bantam looks kinda like a roo, but I don't know that breed, I'm just going by the comb and the build on this one, it's pretty lanky for a pullet. I wouldn't hurry up and get rid of them just yet because you never know, I would wait another month or so. Who knows? You might have two beautiful pullets!

Yes, that comb is what has me worried. And I am wondering about the tail.

The blue is definitely a cockerel. The Barnevelder should be watched.

So, you are confident enough to say it is time to get rid of him?

The blue is a cockeral, but I am not going to say I am 100% sure, becuase I would feel bad if you gave it away and it was a pullet.

Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it! I will give it a little longer, but I am looking for other birds now.
