Golden Seabrights - Pullets or Cockerels?

[makybe]

Hatched 14th January. So 15 weeks old.
No crowing yet, but house is divided on the gender.

Not that you will be able to help as it will not let me upload pics. LOL

Haha! Those naughty spammers, making it hard on everyone. Just go about commenting on other people's posts... after you hit close to a dozen, come back and post a pic

Welcome to the Forum, by the way!

It won't take long to have enough posts to share photos with us all.

But if they were hatched in January, it might be another month before you can tell the cockerels from the pullets. However, with that being said, the pullets do NOT develop much of a comb at all - and the boys get a "spike" on the top end of their combs. It becomes pretty obvious as a comb develops, or not. Unfortunately, because Sebrights are "hen feathered" that's about the only clue, unless they crow.

Do they have traditional pointed combs?. Mine seem to have lumpy combs. My friend called them rose combs.

So pullets or roos?

I do think number 1 is a roo.

I only have one silver sebright hen, two years old and she has a smaller comb then both.

Both are cockerels.

both look like boys to me I have one around 7 weeks old and i'm still debating but the more pics i see the more i think fiesty may be a roo his comb just isn't as puffy or as red and yours is yet but is the same shape
