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

[ReillyB]

This is my Black Australorp that is around 12 weeks old. I'm not sure because my other two that I got with this one have no color or comb development so far, but they all have the same mannerism and are so sweet and loving. I posted on this thread last month with younger pictures, so here is an updated one.

I don't see any rooster hackles but most of the body is obscured making it difficult to tell whether there are emerging saddles. At 12 weeks, the comb could be growing on a pullet.

I'm losing sleep...are these male hackle feathers?? They are 4.5 months old. No crowing. I think i should know by now if they are boys. Right? But those feathers look really pointy...uuggh...now i know how an expectant mother feels like. Any help?

I find it much easier to separate an individual feather and examine the shape. Sometimes it's an illusion from the patterning. I'm suspicious of this one, though, because there appears to be a matching set on the lower back.

I have a month old Porcelain de uccles who I am pretty sure is a cockerel. Is he?

 

[GldnValleyHens]

His comb is much bigger than the other Mille fluer de uccles bantam that is the same age.

I have 4 week old chicks that I purchased online as supposedly pullets. Two of them make me wonder...
1st is a barred rock
2nd is a brown laced Wyandotte
3rd is the other barred rock as comparison. I feel confident she's a she
The BLW has been bigger than the others since Day 1. She has enormous legs/feet.
I cannot have roosters in town, so my fingers are crossed.

Brown Leghorn supposed to be pullet, double checking gender
