Definitely a cockerel. Maybe a Wyandotte (comb) or Marans (feathered legs)cross? No muffs/beard, wattles, yellow feathered legs, rose comb- none of those are typical EE traits.Pretty sure this is a male. I only question it because there has been no crowing. 16 weeks in age and mixed but I've been told looks like an EE. Thoughts anyone?
I'll ask about this one too. 16 weeks of mixed origin. The smallest of the 3 I brought home. Again no crowing and no real tail feathers to speak of. Thought for sure this was a pullet but was told otherwise recently.
By 16 weeks they should have male saddle feathers showing. The second one does not, so pullet. I'm thinking the cuckoo bird is also a pullet, but cannot the saddle area clearly. Do you have a better pick?Last one. 16 weeks, mixed. Had long straight tail feathers at 8 weeks when I brought her home but those all fell out. Now she's getting those slightly darker feathers like a necklace. The comb makes me think pullet.
Are both of these pullets? They are bantams they are 10 weeks old .
I think both are pullets. Very pretty.Are both of these pullets? They are bantams they are 10 weeks old .
The comb is redder than I thought. The place I am trying to see is the side of the chicken near the base of the tail. A male will have long, narrow, pointed saddle feathers. A pullet will have shorter, blunt, rounded feathers that look like the rest of the body feathers. I can't see the area here, those funky wing feathers are in the way.This one if from a week or so earlier outside. Not sure if this one is better or not.
Thank you i sure hope so esp given what i paid to have them sexed .
I have been wondering that given the rust colored patches coming through for as much as i paid to have them they should both be pullets .i think the lighter colored one is a cockerel the other one is a pullet andd by the way they are bueatiful
