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

how old are your EEs? About when did you see the green tail feathers?

They are both 6 weeks. The pink comb and beetle sheen just started in the last week or so.

I was going through my pics. I didn't realize how many I had taken of s/he.

Looks kinda like a cockerel, and I'll tell you why and you can judge for yourself whether you think I'm right or not. Although the comb is small and not red, the legs are large and the feathering suggests a cockerel. The wing feathers are long, and the feather pattern looks to me like a rooster's. However, don't take that as fact; I may very well be wrong. This is a bit of a tough nut to crack!
Hmm ... but the comb is very small and not red ...
I'd get another opinion if I were you, and wait a little longer to see it lean one way or the other. I'm kinda thinking cockerel, though.

Here's pics of our "Sam" Any thoughts?

Chick 5 is a pullet. 2 through 4 look like cockerels. Need a better photo of chick #1 without hands in the way.

Here's Number 1 again. These are more updated pictures. They're about 6 weeks old now. Chick #2 can also be seen here.

Here are some pics of chick #2 (brown one) - Their comb seems to have a side spike/bump



Thanks for any help you can give!

Quote: I agree with you. Need to wait another week or two or get a good close up of the comb.

Females can have iridescent feathers too. It is not restricted to males, although they tend to get more, but not always a reliable way to sex a bird.

Big red comb and red wattles, cockerel.

They look like pullets to me.

Oh, that's a big relief to hear! :-D Thanks!

#1 is definitely a cockerel with that patchy coloring and pink comb.

I was asked to look for a second opinion on these two! The others are all sorted out. (I have lots of Roos!

"Rex" - sorry, he's really good at avoiding pictures! Hope these are OK. Thought he was for sure a cockerel but his feathering/tail are starting to look pullet-y to me? I'm no expert! Would love your thoughts.
*mama could be my white australorp or a white mixed breed.

Chick 4, as I call it!
*mama is proooobably my SLW, otherwise I have RI reds, australorps, SS.

Chick 4 is as big as its buddy here - but it's comb and wattle aren't nearly as pronounced. And I want to say while thickish, its legs aren't as heavy. For reference, here's the buddy who is most certainly a cockerel and looking to be from the same mama:
