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

Five of my six Buff Orpingtons at 12 weeks of age. I'm thinking pullets at this point but occasionally I see one or two squabbling and it looks like they poof up their neck/hackle feathers - unsure if the ladies will do this too or if it's a rooster only thing. Will try to get closer pictures of my Australorps as they're more tough for me right now...thanks in advance

Of the Australorps, the BA (also 12 weeks) on the far right is the most convincing as a rooster to me at this point. (As an aside - how much merit do you put into tail position? A couple of the BAs carry their tails very upright which makes me think more rooster vs. pullet.)

All pullets..

I have one white rock and what i think are two red production chicks. They're 7 wks old. Here are some pics: That's Blizzard, the white rock. That's them all together. The middle is Bliz, the one on the far right is amber, and the othe one is Rosemarie. These are Amber. I don't have a bunch of pics of Rosemarie, though. The rest here

Hi! Your Amber looks a lot like my Dale. What kind of chicken is she? The store told me Rainbow Dixie, Thanks!

These are all supposed to be buff orpingtons. This is only a portion of what I have but its hard taking pictures of all of them without getting them mixed up, thanks in advance!

Did those combs just start pinking up, or have they been red for a few weeks now?

 

[Cobberz]

It seems they have been getting more red over the last 2weeks. There a re a few that I have that are no question roosters and they have been red for 2-3 weeks but I didn't want to waste picture space, thanks
