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

Three of six straight run chickens we think are Roos. The 3 are a speckled Sussex, brown leghorn, and Easter egger. Any advice would be very helpful! We are very new to this and live inside city limits. We would hate to get rid of the three we like the most.

All look like pullets. Not sure what you're seeing that concerns you. You have your hand over the most important part on the Leghorn but I don't think the chest has any black based on what I can see.

Roo or hen?
5 week old Plymouth barred rock. Smaller than the rest and less developed/differently shaped wings.

View attachment 1031511 View attachment 1031512 I have an Easter egger that I have been told was a roo, as well as a hen. I am confused on which one it is. I need to know pretty soon if I can keep it.

The first one looks like a pullet (if it's over 9 wks), but it really depends on how old they are. Second one could be an older female getting close to laying (16 wks or more). How old are they?

Both look like pullets to me. Pretty!

Aw. Thank you! I am really pleased with the way they feathered out too

I am in love with this beautiful creature, but I am wondering if it's because it's a rooster. We can't have roo's where I live so I am holding out hope for this one. It is approx 4 months, no crowing and I have no clue on the breed. Please let me know your thoughts.
