I'm saying pullet for now

I understand I still have all of my boys that I hatched

I want to find them homes but am nervous they'd be dinner. I didn't raise them this far for them to be food.

Oooh, she's purdy being her on up with Atropos and leave her with me!

Isn't she?! Look at those colors!!

 

[fluffycrow]

She will come up to me and just stare at me. I say hey, but if I move she jumps 10 feet in the air and hauls butt.

She's a character for sure

Yes, just a little early. Male specific feathering shows up at 12 weeks. Right now your main focus is the comb and any kind of red or gold leakage on the wings (it should be noted that if the bird has red or gold leakage all over the body, this does not mean it's a male). At their age you do kind of start observing their whole body, but don't focus on it too much

Define this leakage thing.

Red "shoulder" leakage. A deep, red colour. Note the yellow tint on the male specific feathers
