No pointy saddle feathers, no long tail. Ugh lol

Male specific feathering doesn't usually develop until about 10 weeks of age, and can take many more weeks afterwards to be clearly visible.

Well now I'm wondering if any of my SLW'S are girls. All but one have white splotches on wings but this one has a pinker comb. O the struggle of trying to figure it out. Hahaha

The other 3..wings

Mind often don't start until 11-12 and it's not easy to see then, either. It really depends.

I keep posting here because I am not sure about him/her....
We have had her for almost 7 weeks and was told when we got her that she was a pullet and around 3-4 months old. She has started a very pittiful attempt at crowing but not all the time. Her comb and wattle has not seemed to grow in the last week or gotten more red. I may have found a home for her if she is a rooster, but I would love to keep her if she is not a rooster. So sweet, lets us carry her around, falls asleep in our arms...

The photo is from March 7.

This one is from Feb 14 when we got her.

Probably a pullet getting ready to start laying.

Is that normal for pullets to crow? It is so squawky and awful sounding. Will she continue? We live in a very quiet neighborhood and crowing won't be tolerated....

Nope. I'd presume it's a male if you're hearing the squeaky gate. I find frizzled hard to read.

 

[Chloesmama]

When do frizzle pullets start to lay? Man, bummer. S(he) is so sweet.

Can anyone help sex my Maran & Cochin? They are just over 4 weeks old but both are much slower to develop in the comb & wattle department than the other breeds I got (I'm now seeing obvious differences between the sexes with the other chicks).
Here's the Blue Copper Maran:

Here's the Cochin:

Missed the bit about crowing. The bird was probably much younger than you were told.
