Please be a pullet

This is Jade

Nice name @JadeFarms

 

[MGG]

I've never had these breeds before though so I'm not familiar with any breed specific feathering/characteristic stuff yet.

 

[Duckbreeder2020]

Yeah, I noticed those too.
She looked pretty masculine when she was a bit younger...

I'm so relieved.
I was 99% sure it was a girl but there was just a little nagging doubt at times.
I'm already up to 9 cockerels from this year's hatch too.
There will be a lot of rehoming going on, lol.

Aw that sucks

she’s very pretty though! At least you have her!

This is Jade, my 8 week old BBS Orpington X BBS Ameraucana cross.
I'm really hoping she's a she, but after hearing several people say cockerel I've been nervous.
I just took these pics tonight.

I don't know why her blues look so dark in some of the pics. I can usually tell pretty easily, but her comb seems big for her age, and flushes red often. I'm thinking pullet but just want confirmation. Thanks.

@Overo Mare @The Moonshiner

How many did you hatch this year?

 

[TheOddOneOut]

Cockerel.

 

[Duckbreeder2020]

Cockerel.

How? That’s definitely a pullet...?

 

[TheOddOneOut]

How? That’s definitely a pullet...?

Patchy pattern, early-growing, pink, three-rowed comb, and thick legs.
Could go either way though.
How old?
