cockerel
cockerel, I think
pullet
rooster, for sureGood afternoon!
I was wondering if I could get a second opinion on a bird I hatched. The bird in question is the black chick.
It's a black hybrid olive egger. It's buddy is a Red Jungle fowl (pullet I believe) that hatched at the same time.
I originally thought the black chick was a cockerel. The chick was really aggressive and confrontational. It grew quickly and had a stance closer to a cockerel.
It's comb also developed early. But now, I'm not so sure...lol. I don't see the hackles or saddle feathers developing like I assumed, and the bird acts more like a pullet now.
I'm used to EEs and not the straight comb.
Hatched March 13th
