LADY Pumpkin?!

[WallyBirdie]

Previously, I posted pictures of my Wyandotte named Pumpkin. The popular vote was that Pumpkin was a cockerel.

Now, I'm not so sure...

Pumpkin (left) and Adam (right) are the same age. (Not the best pictures...)

Adam crows and is the dominant flock leader. Pumpkin doesn't crow and just moseys along minding his/her own business. For the past two days, Pumpkin has been hanging out around the nesting box... Is Pumpkin ready to lay?

Is my small boy really a lady?

Over 4 months, under 5 months- estimated around 18 weeks. I'll have to go out and get more pictures. But it doesn't look like Pumpkin has long or pointed saddle feathers (though maybe it isn't fair to compare with Adam since he's so robust).

Just with the age info though I think I'm gonna call it. Dude looks like a lady.

Need better pics of side view. When i zoomed in on Pumpkin, it looks like some of the neck feathers may be pointy. If Pumpkin starts to get pointy saddle feathers, then he's definitely a boy.

Pumpkin is hard for me to judge. Every time I think I've got it figured out, curve ball!
