I believe the consensus was wrong!

[KevinJack]

About three weeks ago I posted pictures of six 3.5 week old chicks so that people could give their best guess at gender. The general consensus was as follows:

Biscuit - Cockerel
Nugget - Cockerel
Popcorn - Cockerel
Cosmo - Pullet
Waffles - Pullet
Stubbs - Pullet

Here is what I think now that they've matured a bit:

Biscuit - Pullet
Nugget - Cockerel
Popcorn - Pullet
Cosmo - Pullet
Waffles - Pullet
Stubbs - Pullet


Please share your thoughts!!

You sound right to me !

Sure hope so! I can only keep one Rooster and this would be the first!

I'm going to agree with you now! They're still pretty young, so there could be a slow maturing cockerel in there, but for now, Nugget is the only obvious cockerel! Popcorn just looks to be a dark-colored pullet, not the distinct male color of the salmon variety. I would watch Biscuit, looking like a pullet, but pretty large wattles still

Thanks again for your input!

Waffles and biscuit look a little like cockerels as well to me...

Nugget is definitely a cockerel. I think Waffles might be a cockerel, the comb looks a bit to large and pink for a pullet. In a week or two you will know for sure. Maybe keep an eye on Biscuit, but I'm leaning more toward pullet.
