Cockerel or pullet

[Frazzemrat1]

The EE, BJG and #5 are all pullets. (Do orpingtons come barred??) The Wyandotte and the marans are all cockerels.

X2! Also, the black one is not a Jersey Giant. Could be a Black Orpington or a mixed breed? A Black Jersey Giant would have yellow skin with a dark wash on top.

10-4. The lady I bought it from had both Jersey Giants and Orpington. I’m happy with it being either one. Thank you for the info.

I meant to add, I love your Cuckoo Orp! She's really pretty.

It seems that #2 is the only one that is really questionable. I lean toward it being a cockerel because of its size and the fact that both Jersey Giants and Orpingtons are so slow to develop, and this one has a big comb, wattles, and thick legs at 17-18 weeks, which might be considered early for those breeds. However, it could also just be a large pullet. There's no male feathering at this point. So it's one to keep an eye on. Hopefully it turns out to be a female and lays an egg soon.
