I see Pullet

[TropicalBabies]

Anyone of you BYCers want to dash my hopes- AKA send me back to reality?
Tossed a few eggs under my Broody a few months back. Had a few other things going on including incubation of more importance.
This one- Dad is Brahma X Ameraucana, mom is... BR? Ameraucana? Thought this Feb 21 hatch was a little boy, so I paid no attention to but the other week I glanced up and thought PULLET!!! It all adds up (except the earlier feather sexing and reddish comb), shy, solo, tail getting organized, not to mention comb has not reddened further and no wattles right? Is this my wishful thinking? I have been fooled b4 .
Just want some expert opinions b4 I send out pink announcements or rehome etc.
Big mahalo for the chiming in gang!!

I’m leaning towards cockerel. Not sure yet.

Same, I’m still on the fence, but slightly leaning that way.


It’s what? 7-8 weeks? I’m thinking maybe late developing cockerel. Still on the fence, but that coloring is just screaming cockerel IMO.

I’m getting girl chicken vibes, but I wouldn’t bet my life on it. I, too, end up with mostly roos (I love roos, don’t get me wrong, but I do like to limit how many I have and once I’m attached to ‘em I can’t give them up ).

I agree with you on the colors. Most every chick that i did not sell early with those colors has been a cockerel. But they have always been redder in the face by now. I would so love to have a girl with these colors, ok, ok. I'd just like a pullet. Up to my ears in boys, I think I have saturated the island with my boys and I don't cull. This chick is 1 month 3 weeks-ish.

If this is a girl I will keep her. Don't tell my DH
