chicken gender??

[PeeppeepXO]

hi i’m just wondering what gender the first one is? i was told these were all pullets. when i got them as babies the adults ripped off all her? neck skin and now it’s grown back beautifully, but looks different, poka dots, than the others.
they’re supposed to be sapphire gems.
compared to the sisters in the last pic.

thanks !!

In all but the last picture, is that the same chicken? It looks like a barred rock to me, but your last picture of the 2 look like sapphire gems.

Maybe someone who knows more than I do can help more.

Sapphire gems are sex linked with cockerels being barred.. what you're calling polka dots. So that one is a cockerel, presuming the "breed" is accurate.

ETA: what is their age?

Aren't Sapphire gems sexlinked? Males are barred and females are solid blue. If they are Saphire gems, the 1st chick is a male.

Thank you for this information. I'm still getting to learn all of these things.
