Interesting. I'm going to hesitantly say pullet, however, if she ended up being an extremely slow-developing cockerel I would not be surprised.she is so raggedy!! I’ve had her since a chick and at about 3 weeks old she got really crook because we had flooding and stagnant water. Same care since then as all of my other chooks who are big and beautiful - here’s the full pic. No crowing yet but no egg laying either. I’m very puzzled.

For five months old I'd say it's a girl, but the feather quality is quite rough, and I wouldn't be surprised if he were stunted. Did you just get it? What's going on with its feathers? Why are they so raggedy?
I think I do see a few saddles here. Update us in 2 more weeks.Some better photos. She really is a ratty looking chook. Also forgot to mention she’s meant to be an orpington!
Agreed. 100% sure this is a slow-to-mature cockerelI think I do see a few saddles here. Update us in 2 more weeks.
X2, i agree.Interesting. I'm going to hesitantly say pullet, however, if she ended up being an extremely slow-developing cockerel I would not be surprised.
@Overo Mare, thoughts?
They’ve got a spacious coop and free range most days, and I’ve never seen them picking on her. As long as she doesn’t start crowing I’ll wait and see how she goesAt 5 months I see hen but looks like kept in an eclosure thats too small. Might be a runt or just from bullying
