Is this a cockerel?

[azygous]

At ten weeks, sickle feathers are still too short to be visible except for parting the tail feathers and looking at the emerging feathers. Usually a sickle feather will be noticeable as the only curved feather emerging from the straight ones.

If your photo is of a cockerel, it's too soon for slender saddle feathers to be visible, so looking for a sickle tail feather might give you the advanced notice you crave.

Thanks I will have to do t

I got all of them (12, 3 each from 4 diff breeds) from TSC and I know one of them was cinnamons queens but I assumed the brown and white ones were the queens. Not sure what some of my other breeds are, I can’t remember lol. But good to know! Thanks for the info

Hoover's that TSC typically goes through also carries Red Sexlinks that are called ISA Browns and Golden Comets. They're most likely one of those two!

Yes golden comets are some that I have as well! Not sure which is which but the name sounds right

Sometimes you will be able to see a sickle feather shooting out from the bundle of tail feathers, and that is indisputable evidence of a cockerel. No pullet has a curving tail feather.

Is he old enough to have one yet? I have a cockerel that’s same age, but different breed, that hasn’t grown his out yet

This is a tricky one... It could be a slow developing cockerel, but so far, I’d say it’s a pullet. Update in 2-4 weeks.

Ok thanks. Know what breed it may be?

Do Cinnamon Queens have rosecombs? I don’t doubt you, I just don’t know much about the breed.

Cinnamon queen pullet.

Is that what they’re supposed to look like? We bought CQs online and they look much different:

(Sorry for blurry)
Are one of these two types actually not a CQ?

 

[CalliBee]

Ok but we’re thinking pulley right?

Yes, and hopefully it stays that way. She’s a gorgeous bird.

Bingo. It appears different hatcheries are labeling different Red Sexlink mixes as Cinnamon Queens which is confusing. This bird however is a Silver Laced Wyandotte x Rhode Island Red which is the Cinnamon Queen mix used by at least Hoover. The other birds shown in the thread are Red Sexlinks and perhaps another hatchery's mix that they are also calling a Cinnamon Queen, just without any Wyandotte. Regardless, this bird is still a sexlink and a pullet. Males would be a white-ish color similar to more common sexlink mixes. Hope this clears up some of the questions I'm seeing!
