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

All look like pullets except for Lola. Lola is not an Marans mix with that pea comb and yellow legs. Probably an Easter Egger, and definitely a cockerel. Bluebell is not an Ameraucana, but an Easter Egger.

Rooster or hen?

Can't tell how old, but the lack of wattles makes me think it could possibly be a hen. Very pretty chicken, regardless.

EE cockerel. EE's don't usually have wattles .

Didn't know that. I'm a newb. Are there other breeds that lack wattles?

It's okay, I'm 2 years in and still consider myself a newb! Not sure if there are other wattle-less breeds or not but someone will probably chime in and let us know.

Most bearded breeds will not have wattles. Breeds that are 'supposed' to be wattle-less include D'Uccles, Ameraucana, bearded Polish, bearded Silkies, Faverolles, Russian Orloffs, D'Anvers, Sultans, Houdans, Crevecouer, and most Easter Eggers.

Lola came from the swap meet and was marked as straight run so I am not surprised she is a he but it is sad as he is the sweetest and most people friendly chick I have. Why do you say bluebell is not an Ameraucana? She was ordered from Murrey Mcmurray. I was told by them that you could tell the difference between Ameraucana and EEs because Ameraucana had blue/purple legs, which she does... Is that not true? I'm only a 2year chicken mom with no hen or breed experience a all. Last year I got six 10 day old EE from someone and they all ended up being roosters
