I have a little gold-laced Sebright that pulled the same stunt for a while. He even had the "experts" stumped for awhile there. In fact, before he finally developed a full-blown crow, we were calling him RuPaul, because no one could tell what gender he was simply by looks. He is now, officially, Junior, because he is the spitting image of his big brother.

Yeah, leave it to me to pick a chick that is in no hurry to share it's sex with the rest of the world lol

Ive not named it bc I dont know what it is... I called it Speedy when it was a peep.... man it was fast lol

Did you think it was a pullet?

Yeah, it was wishful thinking, but it was too late to change it afterwards. But Iris is better than the rooster we named Bianca

A friend of mine got 4 chicks that were supposed to be sexed pullets... she ended up with 3 cockerels. She was like, should I change their names? I was like, I wouldnt lol... lots of people have roosters with girl's names

We have a blue splash Silkie named Herman, who started life as Irma. By the time "Irma" started crowing, "she" already knew her name, so we had to either keep him Irma or change to something close. We tried a few, but he/she responded best to "Herman," so Herman he is.
Herman is awesome! He sleeps in the house, walks on a leash, comes when he's called and has long conversations with my son, who apparently speaks fluent chicken. Herman is the homeliest, most non SOP Silkie you'll ever find, but he's perfect just as he is. He's our Herman, and we love him!

Looks like a point of lay pullet.

X's 2 here. By 17 weeks a speckled sussex rooster would have an inch tall comb. Those long feathers on speckled sussex hens always throw people for a loop that haven't ever owned the breed.

By now a 17 week rooster would be crowing his head off too.
