Dominique Pullet or Rooster? 16 Weeks

[CateLV]

Pictures of the saddle area would be best.

I posted some. Let me know what you think. Thank you.

I think the first one you picture, in the original post, is a late developing cockerel. The other one... I'm very suspicious of.

I’m going to go with two pullets. Not 100% sure yet, though.

I'll say pullet. I feel like they'd have more developed hackles and saddle feathers.

Domi owner here too!

Look like pullets soon to lay.

I’ll say a pullet and A cockerel

Look like pullets soon to lay.

but 16 weeks old is typically too young for a dominique to lay. If this was a leghorn, I'd agree with you...

I meant soon enough.

Well, thank you all. I will update whether she lays an egg or he starts crowing about!

Hey! First time with Dominiques. I have 2, both at 16 weeks, and one is started to look a bit cockerel. Hoping I'm wrong and it is a big beautiful girl. They both have identical feathering but the faces are... a bit different. Are these side things sign of a rooster? When they were little they both had the perfect dot (but one did have slightly darker legs).

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!View attachment 2719533View attachment 2719534
