Males or females?

[Nora123]

I have 3 chickens that are 3 months if not almost 3 months, what gender are these 3? I provided 2 pictures of each. Hoping they are females !

Cockerel, pullet, pullet.

At 3 months, I think the second and third are pullets. Not sure on the first one.

To be more precise, the brown and blue one is the cockerel.

I thought the first one was a female since it doesnt have the wattles yet all my males have thier wattles already

I can only give my opinion. It's definitely not fool proof. What I'm basing my opinion on in this case is the large, red comb and the red feathers coming in at the shoulders, both male traits. Plus, in the second picture, it looks like male saddle feathers are starting to poke through.

You should definitely get a consensus of opinions, though, after more people chime in.

I agree with @JedJackson. The first looks like a cockerel to me, may just be maturing slower than some of the others. The other two look like pullets.

What about this brahma chicken i have? So far from what everyone has told me i have 4-5 cockerels

I, too, agree with @JedJackson .

Like I said on another thread, I'm going with pullet on the last one.
