Cockerel or Pullet? *Updated pic pg 4**

[aggieterpkatie]

This chick was hatched out the day before Thanksgiving. It's the only one out of 7 I'm iffy on about sex. I know the darker two red ones are cockerels, the rest are pullets. I thought this one was a pullet, but then its comb started growing. What do you think?

I'd guess roo!

 

[4-H chicken mom]

I still think it is a pullet.

 

[aggieterpkatie]

Maybe I should name it Pat.

That was funny.

Pattie...chicken patty

I think it's a girly chicken

So.. it's just a little over 3 months? I'd say roo. Too much comb & wattle growth for a 3 or even a 4 month old pullet.

It's a cockerel in cognito. You'd do your best to hide your sexual identity too, if you knew there were already two cockerels in the flock just waiting to kick your butt for being male.
What I'm trying to say is that it's not unusual for a subordinate cockerel to appear very pullet-ish. It's nature's way of protecting them from the alpha or something. I dunno.
