Yep I figure she he is going to crow or lay an egg....You will know in a couple weeks that's for sure
It would probably be a waste to pull the feathers...Yep I figure she he is going to crow or lay an egg....
She he doesn't have any crazy rooster behavior. Mom lives with me and she really doesn't want a crowing bird.
They built a subdivision on my farm so I dont mind a rooster crowing ( I'm zoned agricultural outside of all town limits, the subdivision is in the town limits)
Part of me wants to yank some feathers and send-off for testing. The other 7 all look like hens, they have combs and their combs are turning red also ( same age or a little younger) but Roosterita/Rosarita is the only one with waddles.
What are the chances a pullet would have waddles that large?

I hope my other girls who are turning red aren't roosIt would probably be a waste to pull the feathers...
The wattles and comb, and the color of them, this young is what makes me think cockerel. Pullets don't turn red until around 16-20 weeks.
These pics show a cockerel.Updated pictures. She he is 10 to 11 weeks old. Haven't seen any roo like behavior. Still hoping for a hen...View attachment 2730044View attachment 2730045

You did the test on just him? or all of them? cause you had mentioned that some of the others were turning red as well.Well I confirmed I have a rooster. I couldn't wait so paid to have a feather test done and came back Male. Hopefully he will grow up to be nice.
