Golden Comet Roo or hens

[Antiocheggers]

I was given 4 chickens back in April 2024. 2 are Easter eggs and the other two are Golden Comets. My question is this of two comets is one a Roosters? If he is a rooster i want to move him and the hen away from the rest of the flock

2 birds in the first picture are pullets. Others pictured are hens.

Golden comets are sex linked by color.. roosters being white and hens being red/gold.. Those pictured are female.

In addition.. by the stated age, they would have gender specific saddle feathers.. with males being pointy and longer/more flowing and females being rounded and tighter. Yours are rounded.

Ok thank you may explain why no one has crowd. But the stranger thing is that the 4 chicks that I received came from TS and all 4 are pullets.

Even stranger if they're all actually what they were labeled as!

FWIW, some hens do crow.. though not commonly pullets and it's usually quite pathetic sounding. Some hens also grow spurs.

The youngest rooster I've heard crow was 3 weeks old (Silkie), though I've seen reports of even younger. The oldest rooster I've seen before it's first crow had all the tale tell signs including pointy saddle feathers was actually 18 months old (Brahma). I have seen boys sing the egg song, either when startled or along with the ladies celebration. And some breeds do have hen feathered roosters such as Sebright and Campine!

I've never seen a rooster lay an egg.. but parthenogenesis (or self fertilization) is also a thing that can happen in poultry.. though they usually don't make it all the way to hatching, those that do are usually male!
