Gender of Egger

we got 2 starlight eggers and were told they were pullets, im sure one is a rooster. Can anyone confirm or is it a pullet? 3 months old

How old is the little sweetie?

edit: never mind I see it now

Cockerel.

At 3 months I would think we’d see more boy-feathers (pointy hackles, long saddle, maybe tail). But “he” really looks like a she to me.

Cockerels usually have deepen colors and saddle feathers at 3 months. Yours looks like a pullet. Is that a new mixed breed never heard of it?

It's one of those new hatchery crossy things.

Oh ok that would make sense.

 

[black_cat]

I can't decide, but I'm leaning toward speedy pullet.

BOY! That’s a pea comb, a honking big red one, and patchy color!
