Cockerels have wing feathers that look like this:

Pullets look like this:

The one in the forefront that is trying to dust bathe in the towel is a pullet. The yellow chick in the back (on the left with black on wing) is a cockerel.

Often, but not always, the cockerels will feather in more slowly than the pullets, especially the tail feathers. Hope this helps.

Here's an example. I found it!

Hey everbody, I just got an idea. How about having a raffle at the Favs National to earn money for the club. Alot of other clubs do it. Let me know if you can donate something for it.

That's a great idea!! I'll donate a "set" of several homemade soaps and some egg ornaments. Also I'll donate money for awards. I'll pm you about that. Keep meaning to but........procrastinator

another what am I question....
we were told when she was very young that Bellatrix is a she...but I'm a total new chicken mom and have no idea. she's 4-5 wks old now, at least we think. We got her Easter and were told she was 2-3 wks then.

Definitely a she. I don't know much about it, but she sort of looks like a blue? I'm still trying to figure it out myself with my hens.
Nice looking girl, she has a sweet face. Welcome to Faverolles!

): No, not right. But very very pretty. I have a hen like that, with more brown and less black. I'm trying to breed her to my lightest rooster to see if it will counteract the dark colors, but I haven't hatched any chicks yet to see if it worked. Good luck with your girl. She has pretty good type.
