I can sex your pullets and cockerels!

Can you sex my 7-week buff lace polish -- Frompkin? He has been acting kind of rooish, in the sense of looking after the other chicks, and panicking when they don't obey him to return to the coop. View attachment 2170153View attachment 2170154View attachment 2170155

any thoughts on my polish?

All of them look like pullets so far

Thank you! That’s fabulous news! I’m hoping they stay that way!

I have been going back and forth on who is a pullet or a cockerel in my flock. I really think the white one(Slaty) is my cockerel. Other then that I just don't know if the rest are all pullets or not. Keep thinking I have more cockerels then pullets. Let me know your thoughts please.

You don't think the white one is a cockerel?

Seems the white on(salty) will wonder away from the flock and makes a weird noise causing all of the other checks to run for shelter. That's why i think Salty is a cockerel. Also 3 of them tend to do a stand off / play fight like they are cockerels.

I always thought my Japanese mottled was a hen but it might be a rooster.

That's a pullet. I have a pullet that wonders off and makes noise that causes the others to run to her. I think she may be the one at the top of the pecking order.

It isn’t uncommon for pullets to play fight. Also, Salty is an Easter egger.

Do you have a close-up picture of its saddle feathers?

I don’t see any signs that your chick is a cockerel, but she/he is still too young to be certain about gender

i believe around 2 months, maybe a little older. They are supposed to start laying at the end of summer and into fall. Here are better photos.
