EE pullet or cockerel?

[MissHenrietta]

Hey all!

I know this has been asked a lot on here already, but I’m curious as to what y’all think =) I recently just got 2 EE’s and 1 Orpington from our local feed store. They were all labeled as pullets. They’re around 3 weeks old now, and I’m suspecting one is a little cockerel. I’ll post a couple pictures of all three of them.


Orpington Pullet?:

Pullet?:

Suspected cockerel:

i would wait longer but with that comb and those rusty wing bars There is about a 85% chance it is a cockerel

Last ones looking like a cockerel, the rest look to be pullets as of now.

The first one is definitely an Orpington(I know that wasn't related but I saw
the Q mark ). That last one does look to be a cockerel.

Your predictions look about right.

Still too young to know for sure, but that last pic seems to lean toward a higher probability of being a male.

I figured I post weekly picture updates (although I’m a lit-tle early this week). It’s crazy how much they change so fast! Here they are now at about 4 weeks - possibly close to 4 1/2 weeks? I’m unsure of how old they were exactly when I got them (a few days to a week maybe.)



Orpington pullet (I hope!):

Calm, easy to catch, very quiet. Red wattles coming in already that have me a little nervous, but I’m certainly no expert at this!

I’m unsure on this one now which I thought was a pullet:

Easy to catch, calm, but noisy. Pinkish comb.

And the Suspected cockerel:

Feisty, bullies the others, also likes to bounce on top the other two lol, harder to catch - definitely has an attitude...but oh, so pretty!

The orpington for sure is a pullet. The first EE also looks like a pullet, however I'm voting cockerel on the last one. But, they're all still quite young. Continue to update us as they grow

Weekly update:

5 - 5 1/2 weeks old. I’m suspecting both EE’s May be cockerels now . The second picture is of my EE that I thought was possibly a pullet, but that pinkish comb, and what appears as three rows of peas has me thinking otherwise....Third picture (suspected cockerel)/definitely cockerel?

The Orpington is the only pullet.
