Is this cockerel a secret pullet?

[MysteryChicken]

I’d love to see photos if you end up getting any! I can’t picture what he would look like as a rooster at this point but I know he could just be really slow to mature. This is another (horrendous) photo showing him (far left) with our crested cream legbar and Icelandic cockerels that are 4-6 weeks younger, just for comparison in terms of combs.

Those two are obviously cockerels. Fat legs, & large red comb, & wattles.

Your EE is a pullet.

Just wanted to give a quick update! I’ll try to update once she starts laying, but we’re fairly sure she’s an EE pullet at this point. Her feathers were so stripped when I took her (I’m guessing because she was the only pullet in a pen of all cockerels) that her stance really made her look like a roo but it was actually just discomfort.

now that she’s fully re-feathered, she could not look more like a pullet. I’m guessing maybe the person had some sex linked barred rocks in her hatching eggs and thought this was a roo? (barred rocks are one of the few that I have no idea how the sex linking works). Though I know a ridiculous amount about linked chocolate and cuckoo orpingtons!! I’m really popular at work ).

Pic attached. Notice the Icelandic cockerel behind her that’s about a month younger for comparison
