Cockerels vs Pullets

[Mountainchickenman]

We were given 19 chicks from a friend who provided fertilized eggs to the local school to hatch. A nice variety of mix breed barnyard style chickens. Trying to convince my wife which are pullets and which are cockerels. They are about 8 to 9 weeks old.

Those neon anklets are the ones we (me) are leaning towards cockerel on.

The fifth with the mullet is a 5 toe party animal.

4 and the last two, are NOT cockerels. Tough draw

#4, 9 & 10 look like pullets. The rest look like cockerels, to me.

#5 is hilarious! There are a few breeds with five toes-Salmon Faverolles and Dorkings spring to mind-so it’s possible it has something like that in its genetics. I love funky looking chickens. Especially accidentally funny looking chickens.

Those all look like pullets.

I love the white/gray one with gray/slate skin. So pretty... Like smoke.

These all look like pullets to me, but I would keep an eye on 2. That would could be a slower developing cockerel.
