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

[summerb123]

Hello! I'm a new chicken owner with 4 black splash Ameraucanas. They're supposed to be pullets, but as they get older a couple of them are making me suspicious...

Chick #1: This is the oldest; I think it's about 7 wks old?


Chick #2: This one is 6 wks. The shyest and quietest of the bunch.


Chick #3: Also 6 wks. I swear this one has tried to crow...no sound comes out, but it stands up tall, stretches its head up and opens its beak for a second or two.


Chick #4: I think this one is about 5 wks old. I started noticing the pinkness in the comb several weeks ago when it was still just a tiny little thing. I thought the others had been pecking at it, but now I think he's a man, lol.



Any ideas?

3 & 4 are both cockerels
