Cockerel or Pullet?

[Jroy5692]

I definitely will! Thanks everyone for the input! Now I’m really wondering what breed he/she is too lol.

My Australorp from MPC looks just like your chicken!

Even now, she barely has any comb at all, and she's either laying or just about at POL.

Her legs aren't nearly as dark, though. I wonder if your chick could be a mix?

Hmm. I wold wait a Week or two. Sometimes Wyandotte pullets have larger, redder combs. But sometimes they are cockerels. So kind of tricky! I'm leaning more towards pullet, but a few weeks will make sure.

Also, it is a Black Wyandotte.

Don't Wyandottes have yellow legs...? This bird's legs are slate.

They are supposd to be yellow. But a lot of hatchery birds don't. The telling thing is the comb.

Looks like a hatchery Black Wyandotte. It does look like there is yellow skin under the dark wash, you can see yellow between the toes. An Australorp would have a single comb, this one appears to have a rose comb. I would guess cockerel, but I'm not sure?

Also these are the two other girls that I got the other one with. They were all supposed to be black sex links but these girls look so different than the one with the more red comb. Any idea what they are? Lol.

These are Black Wyandottes as well. See how they have zero redness in the comb? That leads me to think the other one may be a cockerel.

Thank you! That’s exactly why I thought the other one was a cockerel cuz the other two don’t have red combs at all. I’m so confused as to why it said they were black sex links lol. Oh well makes no difference to me haha. If the other one is a cockerel though unfortunately we won’t be able to keep him so that’s what kind of sucks.
