Thank you! Any idea about Cockerel vs pullet? I think I have two boys, two girls and one I’m not 100%. Why is this breed so difficult..haha

Looks like three pullets and two cockerels to me. So one cockerel too many.

When I see wattles and combs at 12 weeks, it always turned out to be a male. Genetics can make a difference in developing at different times.
