I've posted in here before about our Diamond duchess & most said pullet.
Have 2 chickens both about 2.5 months old. We got the April 8, probably were about a week or so old.
But they are finding their voices & it has me worried shes actually a cockerel...
Comb is still very cream colored, not red
Not sure how to attach a video. Will try.

To add a video you can make a post on YouTube (or similar platform) then post the link.

My guess is pullet, the comb doesn't look red and I barely see wattles, but wait for others to weigh in.
 
I have 2 Diamond Duchess pullets. Same age as yours. I have found their very loud and vocal. View attachment 4150976
Oh thats good to know! Maybe its just that they are really chatty

We had a barred rock years ago that used to "talk" to me everyday all day any time I talked to her, so I was wondering if perhaps its a trait of barred rocks (which I know are part of the Diamond duchess breed) but I just wasn't sure.
 
As a side note they're old enough to go outside
Oh yes, they have been. We brought them in for a bit before bedtime (our kids like to sit & chat to them for a bit before they head back out to the coop lol) but they are outside most of the day & just starting to integrate with the rest of the flock after having their own area outside in the run the last few weeks.
