Hackle feathers?

What do y’all think? I have never had a rooster and I would welcome the idea! 8 weeks old.

Hello! That looks like a female to me but I can't say for sure unless I know how old she/he is, and breed would be helpful! Sure is beautiful!

Wow she’s so pretty, it’s a pullet!!

I ordered 3 pullets from cackle and they put an extra one in. I just assumed it would be a cockerel but I’ll feel pretty lucky if they’re all gals!

Yes, at eight weeks it looks like a she.

Don't worry, I forget to add stuff to my posts all the time! If I had waited a couple minutes you probably would have added details. Once I posted a thread and said "please vote on the poll", and I didn't notice until the next day that I had forgotten to add the poll!

I ordered 3 black and 3 blue pullets from Cackle this year also. I just knew one would turn out to be a cockerel. Three of them didn’t survive shipping though. So I have three pullets. That’s a pretty Splash pullet you have!

Beautiful pullet! Lucky you

Thank you! I was so nervous about shipping. They all ended up okay but those first few days were rough. So sorry that you lost three.

Lil comb starting to pop out on just this one. Is this normal for a 9 week old pullet?
