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

This was supposed to be a golden sex link pullet, looking more and more like a rooster but still not crowing at 12 weeks.

It is a cockerel. No doubt.

This is Tootie.Any thoughts? Thank you

Age? It also helps to have a god standing side view to see the color.

Okay, now that the chicks are 7 weeks old, I'm hoping someone can help me make decisions about the cockerels. I need to rehome the boys (and I think they are most of them). Here goes:

Tikka- 7 weeks today. Very Big Chick. I've noticed a "darker red" coming in on the back and now I see a few spots in the wings. The tail has really pretty black feathers laced with brown, but the black portion has the beetle green sheen. I think it's a cockerel






Here is Smudge: 7 weeks, the coloring keeps making me think pullet, but now there are red wattles peaking through. NOOO! ETA: I "think" the mother was the black sex link hen. Would that affect or contribute to faster growing comb/wattles even on a pullet?





I think I'm deluding myself into thinking there's any way this baby could be a pullet. The comb really still looks single, but it's usually really pink. Not 100% of the time, but 95% of the time it's really pink. He's soooo pretty.






These two I feel certain are cockerels. The blue one with barring peaking through has to be a male based upon genetics. The other one has shown 3 beefy rows of peas for a while now.



This is the only chick that I still 100% think is a pullet:




I have someone willing to take the boys but they will probably be processed at 14 weeks. I can't keep them, but I know she will take great care of them for the next 7 weeks. Just need to put the "COCKEREL" stamp on the suspects.

@Wishing4Wings or @junebuggena , any guesses?

 

[Maddhatter20]

11 or 12 weeks I believe

 

[Maddhatter20]

They are about 11 weeks

@Wishing4Wings or @junebuggena , any guesses?

Give them another week or so. I'm thinking you only have two cockerels.

Need to see a very crisp, clear photo that shows each one from the side, without any hands in the way.
