CockerelsUPDATE: Well, my Easter Egger chicks (sold as the mercurial 'Americaunas' <grin>) turned 10 weeks and 1 day old today. Norman is definitely a cockerel. With Sandy (thankfully a name that can go either gender) I am now more leaning toward the idea that she is a pullet (hopefully others agree with me). Her comb doesn't have the deep red and three rows that Norman (formerly 'Nancy' ) has. My two other white (mostly) chicks are most definitely pullets.
Sure would be great if it worked out that Sandy is a pullet - that would eventually give me three hens and a rooster (my second flock). BTW, my nearly 10 year old hens are still doing well (less the one I lost in November to a hawk attack ).
I'll attach some pics that I took today of Norman (definitely the cockerel) and Sandy who I'm on the fence but leaning a bit now more towards Sandy being a pullet.
