BR pullet or cockerel??

[chickensgalore]

mine is the same age and has a huge comb and wattles.but close to the same color

I too was thinking that although "it" has the coloring of a roo it looks more like a pullet. No crowing yet either. It's a hatchery chick so I'm just hoping it's a lousy representation of a BR hen.

I mean, what are the odds that out of the 140 pullets ordered by the seller I should get a cockerel??? No roos in the bunch of pullets I ordered from MM.

So: 6 for cockerel
3 for pullet

I think it's a roo. Looks just like the 14 BR packing pullets I had. The closest-age-pics I have, mine are about 13 weeks old, and they're starting to get sickle feathers in their tails. Same yellow legs, same size comb and wattles, same coloring in the feathers.

Here's one of mine for you to compare. Hatched October 22, this pic was taken January 24. So 13-14 weeks old.

If you remember what they looked like as babies, then this might help. It's what Speckledhen wrote to me:
