Convince my family this is a cockerel!

[Chickenhappy8708]

We have a blind pullet, and she had two 3 week old chicks, one is a cockerel, and I'm pretty sure the other is to, but they want to be positive before we add more pullets to the flock. The wyandotte is who I'm asking about.

It's too early to tell, wait a few weeks and you'll know.

What do you think so far?

What do you think so far?

They're way too young to guess

People on my other thread have all said cockerel, his legs ate thick, his tail is short, he is feathering slow, and his comb and wattles are Orange, I can get better pics tommarow.

Personally i don't trust the whole legs thing and I've had pullets that had orange wattles and combs. Unless they're bright red, I don't use them this young

What is he supposed to be?

They didn't say, the guy said they were just labeled pullets in the store, sorry that's not helpful, I can tell you my other cockerels in these have looked quite a bit like that, and my pullets hardly have red a 12 weeks.

Do you guys think it is worth the risk to wait a few weeks and have 2 cockerels and a pullet possibly until next spring?

The wyandotte is who I'm asking about.

You mean the darker chick that is in all three pictures?
Wyandottes are supposed to have rose combs, but that sure looks like a single comb to me.

Why do you think it's a Wyandotte?
