GLW at 9 weeks old… pullet or cockerel ?

pullet

 

[JustBabyMargo]

Cockerel, I think.

Cockerel. Not sure what’s throwing others…see that comb, yall?

 

[Chooks101]

I wondered if the comb is bigger and darker because it’s a single comb rather than the rose comb it should be ?

At 9 weeks I think you have a Cockerel

I don't see any hackle nor saddle feathering ... although they usually don't "show" until about 12wks. Size of comb/wattles not tell tale sign, I've had a pullet with HUGE comb that had me guessing & but never saw the feathering ... glad I didn't sell her. She was a good layer. I may be wrong but at 9wks, if it was a male the comb & wattles would be redder. IMO

PLEASE UPDATE us at 12wks or if you hear the crow

You can see darker wing patches, solid black hackles, etc…all traits of a male. And the giant red comb.

Nope. Still a big red cockerel comb

Also look at the size of those legs, they are thick, so I'm guessing it's a cockerel.
