Not Sure If You've Got A Pullet Or Cockerel? Click Here! Thread 2

[Shezadandy]

I'm still struggling believing both my Speckled Sussex are pullets lol. This first lady here, Reba, I agree is a pullet.



This one though... 11.5 weeks now. Will be 12 weeks come Tuesday. This is Ringo (with guest appearances from the other three birds). Ringo likes to chest bump with Wyatt on the regular. It looks like the comb is becoming more red. No crowing at this point though. Wyatt hasn't either though, but Wyatt is the only one making chicken noises.



This last photo is Ringo on the left, Reba on the right, for comparison.



I don't necessarily want Ringo to be a cockerel, but if he is, I need to make sure I plan for more ladies (was only thinking about getting six more) so he and Wyatt don't beat them up.

Here are our 2 Speckled Sussex ladies (both laying now) at 12 weeks:

Your SS are laying eggs already?? Oye!

And yeah, Ringo's comb is definitely redder compared to your ladies.

I have 4 blue/black/splash laced wyandottes. I do not know the color/sex of any of my new babies yet. Any help is appreciated...
Number 1


Number 2


Number 3


Number 4


Im rlthinking a black 2 blues and a splash as far as the colors go. I have no idea about sex. We are new to wyandottes but very excited.

They are to young to say for sure but I think #3 is looking suspiciously like a cockerel.

I think Ringo is your only cockerel, very handsome though.

Thanks. I'll continue to keep my eye on him just in case, since it was thought he was a she earlier in the thread. My BLRW that you can kinda see in the background is my other cockerel. Sooo...that just means more pullets than I originally intended, unless the boys become jerks at maturity.

how about this little one? out of 10 chicks that are now 10 weeks old this one has no tail? it's comb and Waddles is not any pinker than any of the other girls..... do we have a late bloomer or a roo?

They're now 7 months- out of 10, the one on the right was the first to lay and the one on the left was the very last... by a lot. =)

Ringo looks like a rooster to me. Especially in that last picture, his legs and comb look just like a roo's.

I don't think I've ever seen a hen with legs like that, but, if the comb is pink, then it could be a girl. Do you have a closer picture, maybe a head shot?

No to the puffy cheeks

So I need more Wyandottes and SS LOL. Easy enough. They're fairly plentiful in my area and have sourced some SS nearby. Now, if I can find someone selling pullets that are about to lay, I'll be fine, I think. I hope Thanks!
