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

[junebuggena]

Hello! What do you think about my RIR and BO?
7.5 weeks. Newbie and two out of my four "pullets" turned out to be Roos so I'm very nervous about any combs and wattles. These 2 do not have roo posture or behavior.
Thanks so much for your help

Pullets.

12 week old easter eggers.

At 12 weeks I say definitely a pullet.

Breed on this one??

 

[MamaDucken]

These are chick 1 and 2. I know they are a mixed breed, but I am wondering if they are hens or roosters

How old are they? The look like Black Sexlink cockerels to me.

I'm not sure. My sister in law gave them to me.

Do you know which parent the barring came from?

For sure the father is either a barred rock or a Dominecker. The chicks have small red spots on their wings and their tail feathers look like they have a green tint to them.

For sure the father is either a barred rock or a Dominecker. The chicks have small red spots on their wings and their tail feathers look like they have a green tint to them.

Barred Rock for the father then, Dominiques have rose combs that are dominant over the single comb. Are they still cheeping like chicks? That would indicate that they are under 10 weeks old, and most definitely cockerels. If they have been clucking for a while and those combs just started to redden up, then they are probably 14 to 18 week old pullets.
