Light Sussex pullet? Or cockerel?

[junebuggena]

They begin to develop at about 10 weeks old, but aren't really visible until after 12 weeks. By 15 weeks, they are usually really obvious.

I have had Light Sussex. Looks like a pullet to me.

I'm also thinking pullet. I guess it could possibly be a very late developing cockerel, but at 15 weeks I'm thinking you're going to get eggs in the next month, not crowing.

Thank you everyone, I really appreciate your opinions!! Fingers crossed for eggs in the near future!

Thank you, that's very clear. At what age do the roosters usually start developing those distinctive feathers? Again, just gorgeous!

I am not sure if they show up in the juvenile feathers. For sure they show up in the adult feathers.
Best,

I have a cockerel about the same age...you have a pullet.

I'm still leaning toward cockerel, but I could be wrong.

Hmm. With her comb already bright red, I think she will be an early layer and should be laying very soon. There is no trace of a rooster on her, though, I have to agree white birds are hard to see the saddles on.
