Did she turn into a he? Is at a BR?

[LinzeeBrie]

Who wants to see a million pictures? I had too much fun following the poor thing around . Up until now (13 weeks) I've been sure this bird was a pullet. (Also, is it a BR cross of some sort?! I just got them as barnyard mixes; actually she called them Easter Eggers but even that I think was a stretch). Compared to the roos in the hatch, "she" was very clearly a female, from early on. (I can show pictures from week 6 as well, but they might be irrelevant now)... All of her brothers have been crowing for a long time already, some even quite confidently... But her comb and wattles have gotten really red (and at 13 weeks she's not POL!), and her tail feathers are a lot droopier than any of my hens of any age... She behaves like a hen though...

And while we're at it, any breed guesses on this guy? He reminds me of the quintessential cornflakes rooster

The first one is a barred rock mix cockerel, the second is a leghorn mix.

Interesting, thank you! Zero chance on the BR being a pullet? I wonder why he turned red so much later than the others, and hasnt crowed at all even though the others have been for over a month?! (Not questioning you! Just intrigued. He's always behaved the most hen-ishly of the bunch!)
Here's the post with all of them at 5 weeks; we were all so optimistic! https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/sex-my-5-week-old-ees.1369928/

He has pointed saddle feathers, so 100% cockerel. Some are slower developing than others. It’s not uncommon for cockerels to take a while to crow, especially in flocks that have multiple males.

We were so optimistic at 5 weeks what an interesting learning curve!

Sorry but I agree, your barred Rock mix is 100% cockerel.
Some boys are slower to develop. I had a salmon Faverolles cockerel who didn't crow at all until he was over a year old.

These feathers are the kicker? Ugh, what a shame! Thanks for your help! Any breed guesses on the brown female? Can't believe I only got 1 out of 6 in this batch too!

She looks like a buff Orpington mix

I'm a bit shocked people said he looked like a pullet at 5 weeks. That was a. If comb and I would have thought cockerel then also.
