BR Rooster?

[Ventucky57]

I noticed Lucy is slightly more grey than her sister and this morning heard attempts at crowing. 12 weeks old. Is it a roo? (The Lighter one in front) it also pecks at my husband whenever he’s near and is more assertive than our other BR.

Thanks in advance!

Can a pullet have a curved tail like that?

At 12 weeks it’s still got development time. I’ve seen cockerels pop up from suspected pullets like that before.

Do they make sounds at sunrise? It was a new thing she did this morning that wasn’t quite crowing but it sounded like an attempt. Do they make noise like that typically? First time with BR. Thank you!!

Can a pullet have a curved tail like that?

Yes. Here's one at about 3 months.

I asked the same question when my Barred Rocks were around 6 weeks.
I have 2 out of 6 that are lighter. At 11 months old in this pic the 2 on the left side turned out to be pullets, just like the others.
I say yours is a pullet too. GC

Sometimes pullets attempt to crow

Wow, ok I didn’t know that pullets were capable of that. Thank you. I guess I’ll wait for them to grow and develop more.
