Odd Pullet or VERY Late Cockerel?

[LilJoe]

Hello all,

I have three 10 week old seramas... I have one definite cockerel and a definite pullet. The other one, that looks like a pullet, has started growing saddle feathers? Her tail says pullet and her legs say pullet. Seramas can be sexed early. My cockerel was able to be sexed at 2 weeks!

You're fine

Okay. 10 weeks is a little young for the male feathering to come in. 12 weeks is the normal age for that. So I would just wait. It looks to me like a pullet so far.

Yep! I hate to say it, but that looks a lot like my Copper, though mine's two weeks younger. Similar comb development, more red in the face at resting. However, I wouldn't pass judgement yet - I'd say wait a while. That's what I'm doing with Copper, though I'm pretty sure Copper's a cockerel. Bear in mind, I'm just getting started, myself, so I'm far from an expert! I believe there are some Serama people on here... but I'm not sure who they are.

Seramas certainly are precocious little buggers. I had my two week old chicks out for some supervised run time, so they could see the older chicks and the older chicks could see them. Blueroo, who started trying to crow at six days old, was doing his best to square off against Scotch, my eight week old cockerel. Neck puffing, dancing and all! Amusingly enough, Scotch indulged him. Blue was very upset when I wouldn't let him scrap.

I'd guess a boy. Beautiful colors! Are you sure they are all the same age?

Yep all the same age.. hatched the exact same day.
