Double Silver Laced Barnevelder pullet or cockerel?

[cheyannluv84]

Hi, I have 3 Double Silver Laced Barnevelder that I hatched about 7 weeks ago, I’m wondering if anyone can tell if they are pullets or cockerels yet. I’m hoping for at least one hen. Thank you in advance for your time and expertise.

I'm not too familiar with this variety, but the big red combs at that early age have me thinking all are cockerels. Hopefully others will tell me I'm wrong.

They're looking like cockerels...

That’s what I was leaning towards also - thanks for the response.

That’s what I was afraid of- thanks for the reply

Here's one of my silver laced pullets at about the same age.

She’s so pretty. I had stalked quite a few posts and had a feeling they were cockerels and wanted to confirm with a post. I was just hopeful because the picture of the Farm I bought the eggs from the hens had beautiful red combs. Maybe I’ll try again next year.

The hens will get red combs but not this early. These are some of my girls now, they are just beginning to lay.

I hope next time you end up with some pullets!
