I bought this little lady (?!?!?) around a month ago - meaning she should be approx 19 weeks now - I was sure she is a lady - but now im not 100% Her wattles seem a good amount longer than they used to be... growing up, or growing into manhood? lol

1000% cockerel.

oh dear

i bought him / her as a hen - so i have a cockeral too.... but they dont seem to be having any issues.... ohhh what to do! If they have grown up together may they be ok? I am new to this game so excuse what may be stupid questions...

Whoa!! Umm, yes, that's a rooster. See all those long stringy pointy feathers? Those are rooster saddle and hackle feathers. No chance that's a girl, sorry.

now I am nervous some of my others might be boys.... gee this is harder than I thought - no eggs yet - might be all boys

He is a pretty boy none the less.... might have to go find a few more ladies

it is hard for a novice to know what you are getting - hate to think the person knew pekin was a roo

Now for another question - how old you recon? My other cockerel ( the one that is actually meant to be a cockerel ) is cockadoodledoing - but this one aint....

the first pic looks like theres 2 cockerels in it the one in front is no doubt a cockerel and the one behind it has rooster tail feathers. take some pics of the rest of them and we will be happy to tell you

Sorry but you have a roo

 

[stellacat]

Unfortunately that is definitely a rooster

your Pekin (called Cochin in the states in case anyone's wondering if you mistaked him for a duck

) mix is a pretty boy..the one behind him in the first picture also appears to be a lad and behind him the second picture appears to be a lady. I think he's about 2-3 months old because his comb and wattles will get bigger in the coming months.

Thanks the one in the background of the first photo is the only one who is meant to be a boy! It would be great if you lovely lot could have a little look at all of them for me - I'm feeling a little stupid *blushes*
