I see Pullet

[EmmaRainboe]

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

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!!

What a cutie! I'm no help at all because my gorgeous pullet just started crowing

I was just thinking about this post and how I would have liked to have updated it one way or the other by now... but, 1 month later and I am no closer to calling this little one either way. A real little stumper. 1 minute I catch HER hanging with the girls around the boxes and admiring how her tail is getting fan shaped, then next thing I know HE is bumping chests with the brother having a small throw down... not that I have not seen girls go to the mats with the boys- just not so much my domestic girls... Whatever this one is, mystery or surprise should be incorporated in its name.

Do you have any recent pictures?

This is the broody and the dad. I thought I had pulled all of her eggs but I bet she snuck this one in... as I said from the first post, I was not really paying attention.

If so, mom is 1/4 Kauai feral chicken and it would explain a few things about this ones personality - the chick won't let me close to it. The brother and I totally snuggle. I have never had a roo who did not want to snuggle... that I raised, that I can think of.

I think I am going to have a serious girl lean again...

Her tail feathers look very pullet, fwiw

Gonna have to say... Pullettt But that’s not 100% what I’m guessing she is.
