Green Queen a Cockerel or Pullet?

[Tookie]

Thank you! Here is a photo of our 9 week old Mottled Ancona. I have 3 of them, 2 have pale smaller combs and this ones comb is bigger and darker. What do you think?

It looks like a cockerel to me.

Oh no! I hope I won’t have to rehome one of them?!

You probably will need to, how many girls do you have?

That’s probably not enough girls for two cockerels, so you most likely will need to get rid of one.

Thank you so much for all your help. At what age will they start to compete for the hens?

Glad to help!
I’d say between 3-5 months they’ll probably start fighting. Could be earlier, could be later though.
