Not Sure If You've Got A Pullet Or A Cockerel? Click Here!

I'm not sure on the age of this bird but I do know that it has a majority of it's feathers. So, any guess to whether it's a pullet or a cockerel? Also, if there's anyone good with breeds— Ameracauna or Easter Egger?

It looks like cockerel to me. Due to the bright pink comb at such a young age. It is not an Ameraucana, they have slate colored legs. Likes like an EE that the leg color did not carry over. Also the feather color is not the standard. He is pretty.

That is a Wyandotte mix. And it's a cockerel.

Thoughts on roo vs hen on these? About twelve weeks old now

I'm not good at guessing Wyandottes, probably a pullet though. The Easter Egger is all pullet.

Thanks. I was really hoping that it was a pullet. I guess once I hear crowing then I'll know for sure that I'm dealing with a male. I bought this particular bird at my local cattle sale and was told it was an Ameracauna along with its companion who died of what I think was coccidiosis. I gave the surviving bird some Corid and I've not seen anymore signs of illness.

First and last are both for sure cockerels. Need a better photo of #2, but probably pullet.

My guess was #1 is a roo but none of them have waddles really coming in. Not knowing what they are a mix of makes me second guess.

The boys are Easter Egger mixes. They don't normally have wattles at all.

I'm hoping it's just one roo but we'll see. It really was for fun to see what everyone thought. I'll know for sure when I get eggs or not. LOL

You know for sure now. The first is 100% male only coloration. The third clearly has male specific feathering through the neck and shoulders.
