Is Flipper a Roo?

[MegaMeg]

I'm pretty sure I already know the answer but is my littl Flippy Flipper a roo? The tail feathers are so much longer and the lacing seems quite off.

Nope, Flipper is a pullet with an unusual tail.

Agree with JedJackson! Flipper is a cute little pullet!!

Thank you!! Ive been using this site for over a year now and finally signed up haha!

That is music to my ears! I'm wondering if the same applies to Bonnie? Her tail feathers seem quite long and her comb is quite red. She's 17 weeks just like flipper

Due to the curved tail feathers... I’m thinking cockerel but the comb makes me say pullet....

Both your birds are pullets.

 

[MegaMeg]

That's exactly what is confusing me. The lacing seems pretty consistent too. I suppose only time will tell!

Bonnie is also a pullet. Her comb is big and red because she will soon be laying. With silver laced and gold laced Wyandottes it is pretty easy to tell the difference between males and females. Males will get big solid colored patches on their upper wings, which neither of your girls have.
