Is this d’Uccle pullet really a pullet?

[topochico225]

Hey y’all!

This is Tuffet, and she hatched in August. Since then she has looked different than the confirmed d’Uccle pullets I have. She is much darker, slightly bigger, and doesn’t really have hen feathering. She hasn’t crowed, ever, but it may be because she’s at the bottom of the pecking order.

Is “she” a he?

Thanks!

Here she is next to her sisters.

Show the hackle feathers. If theyre pointed (literally, not just colored), male. Round, female

The burgundy wing patch and green tail says it's a male.

Oh goodness Tuff is my first boy! I’m not really supposed to have a boy in city limits, but my neighbors don’t care and d’Uccles are quiet anyway.It’s always the favorite, isn’t it?

He is very handsome at least. Sorry you can't keep him. But remember, the rule is there because of your neighbors. Some neighbors don't mind.

Tuffet is a beautiful boy. If your neighbors don't mind, then I say keep him!
Giving them eggs once in a while helps.

Looks like a very handsome boy to me!
