Lemon Cuckoo Orpington: Pullet or Cockerel?

[TXPeepShow]

Hi! It’s me. Just two more, I promise.

This rotund ball of sass is Liz Lemon. She was also procured at the Ellis County Poultry Trade Days, but was always the largest and most aggressive chick. I’ll never forget the time she chased some smaller babies around the brooder, trying to pull their legs off…we had to do quite a timeout.

So is Liz a pullet or cockerel???

Age?

I’ll say male.

The face says boy, but I need the age to be sure.

Wow, I didn't realise there were other lemon cuckoos other than Niederrheiner!

 

[high5]

I’ll say male.

Me too. Very similar to my young Malines cockerel.

Age?

Because she’s so much larger than the others, I think 11-12 weeks

11-12 weeks perhaps?

 

[Painted Calls]

If that is the correct age, you've got a cockerel.
