Partridge Chantecler

[Ajmen08]

I just purchased 4 Partridge Chantecler babies. I was told I have 3 hens and 1 cockerel. I’m pretty sure 2 are hens( 1st and 2nd pics) and 1 is a cockerel(3rd pic) but the 4th( 5th and 6th pics) one is confusing me a lot. I’ll post the 2 hens first, then the one I think is a cockerel and then the mystery one. Any help would be much appreciated.

Also really curious about this one. It confuses me. I think cockerel but others say pullet.

I think you have 3 pullets and 1 cockerel.

Thank you. Which one do you think is the cockerel?

3 pullets, 1 cockerel. Of your original 5 pictures, #3 is the cockerel. He's splotchy and has solid black feathers at his breast.

Thank you!!
And this one you think is a pullet? These are pics from today. This one has confused me lol. I just noticed it’s comb is getting redder and is more so than the other 2 pullets but this one is older.

It has the typical female pattern. These birds look pretty young to me, so I am just going by the color pattern at this point. With the partridge variety, males and females will look totally different in color. However, I would give it a while before making a final determination. Post again at 7 to 8 weeks if gender isn't clear by then.

At this point I’m not even sure you have any cockerels at all.
But you don’t have any more than 1.
That bird you just posted pics of us a girl. She has a perfect female pattern.
