I have 11 chickens. They were all supposed to be pullets except for the 11th chicken that was sent free - I am guessing that one will probably be a male. However, as they grow, I'm not so sure if they are all female. I will try to get better pictures of each one, but any info will help!

Well, it's hard to say without a pic, but I can give you a few things I've noticed.......Male chicks (cockerels) often feather out more slowly than the females. They seem to keep their baby fuzz longer, as they grow, their legs sometimes look thicker or bigger than the females....Their combs will develop more quickly.

Those things are some signs you can notice when they're chicks.....

I am trying to figure out how to post a picture! At least the ones that I currently have

thanks for all the feedback! I am putting a few more close up pictures of our "pullets". If you see anything different!

The first two pics are the same chicken
