is this a legbar pullet??

[chrissynemetz]

I agree, I think you have a little cockerel

when do the saddle feathers start to get longer? I have 9 other chickens all aprox the same age varying breeds and all feathers seem to be the same.....only difference between this one and the rest is the comb and wattles are red which I know usually means rooster but don't legbar females sometimes have those too??

hey I was wondering how the "frost legbar" looks i think mine may be a boy now unfortunately but not positive yet i was wondering if maybe u could post a pic so we can compare this is mine it's about 9 or 10 weeks now View attachment 1807884

Mine all turned out to be cream legbar cockerels. 5 sexed pullets ordered, and 4/5 cockerels! All given to other homes now, but here's the last two boys at 7-8 weeks old, with their sister in the background.

Yeah, but not that much at 9-10 weeks. You have a very masculine boy.

Ordered from where? There should be no missexed birds with legbars, I would be taking this up with the source!

Gender differentiated saddle & hackle feathers generally emerge around 14+ weeks of age. Yes, pullets of production age (15+ weeks depending on breed) and mature hens have red combs and wattles, but not at this young age.

Right? I know. This was from McMurray. They gave me a refund, no trouble. I'm guessing it was somebody's first day packing shipments??
