Cockerl or Pullet???

[ChickenMama6RIR]

I use to be sure my BO was a female, but the older she has gotten I have started to reconsider. The lady that I bought her from said she was. I just want to make sure lol! I am really hoping she's a pullet and would anybody have any idea how old she might be??? Her name is Peaches

Sorry, cockerel and not BO. My estimate would be about eight weeks old. How long have you had him?

 

[ChickenMama6RIR]

I have had him for about 3 weeks. What breed is he if he is not a buff orpington???

Looks to be a mix, possibly some BO in there. Does he have feathered legs?

There's a pic of his leg

Ok, no feathers.

Probably male, not 100%. Post pictures of this one in a few more weeks when gender will be more obvious.

Ok So is no feathers a good thing or a bad thing?

Doesn't matter. I was thinking that he could have some Cochin in him, but they have feathered legs and that is dominant (so would show). But no feathers, so no Cochin.

Oh ok awesome! I'm a little on the upset side, for the fact that the lady charged me extra for guarantee that Peaches would be a pullet. Well I guess I'll have to change his name Same for the second chicken Daisy...
