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

Wanting to check my mini-flock. 11 weeks old. 1 - EE 2 - Buff Orp 3 - Lav Orp 4 - Welsummer 5 - Barred Rock 6-7 Silkies 8- RIR

All ladies - I'd say even the Silkies are looking very feminine. Lovely flock.

I bought some chicks from a chain farm store and ended up with what looks like an Aseel/ Asil. It is around 3 months old and I'm not sure if it is a male or female or if it is even an Asil. It does have a thin grayish ring forming around its iris. If anyone can help me identify the breed and sex of this bird I would be grateful. I included a bad picture of what might be saddle feathers starting to com in. This bird has very slow growing feathers. It is as if it is still getting its adult feathers in.

Cockerel... looks like a gamey type bird from the back but without the other photos it's impossible to be sure. Hatcheries don't sell any kind of real gamebird much less Asil, the birds they label Asil are maybe only 1/4 or 1/2 real Asil. They mix in layer and common game breeds to increase their stock's production.

For some reason the other pictures didn't come!

Pullet or Cockeral?
He is a 7 week old Buff Laced Polish

With a lovely round crest like that I'd say you've got a pretty little girl.

Thanks, I'm very pleased so far with my Hatchery order. MyPetChicken.com lets you order Pullets in Silkies - we will see!

Hello! Newbie here

Wondering if I can get some confirmation on my new flock of 5. They are approx 7 weeks old with the Blue Orpington and larger Black Ameraucana being slightly older- I think, judging on their sizeFrom top to bottom is (3 of the girls enjoying some eggs lol) First one is Rosie, the Orpington (Blue) 2nd is Polly the Dorking (Silver Grey) 3rd is Deja the Blue Ameraucana, 4th is Nano the Black Ameraucana and 5th is Flicker, also a black Ameraucana. I think all of them are pullets but I am a little nervous seeing Rosies red wattle forming...hoping she doesn't turn out a he. And I think Nano, the little black and yellow ameraucana could be iffy as well but overall, from what I've read and seen, I want to believe they are all pullets. What do you guys think? Thanks for the insight!

No one screaming cockerel but I don't say anything for sure on Ameraucanas until 10-12 weeks.

I posted photos of my silver laced Wyandotte awhile back, but I still am not certain about gender. Any thoughts?? He/she is 16 weeks.

Definitely a pullet

Thank god. I've already got to rehome one cockerel, and I really didn't want to deal with another.
