PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS A PULLET!!!!!!!!

[bugglesmommy]

HE is a very beautiful bird. There is no doubt. 100%.

AND I do see spur buds on his legs and hackle feathers are starting to be very pointy. He is one handsome boy!

Thank you. If I can get him to get along with my other cockerel, maybe I can keep him. My other cockerel was hatched at the same time. He is also a Serama.



My other roo. The one closest to the camera is the one I thought was a pullet, the one who this thread is about. The one on the far side is my other roo, Pete.





They are getting along together... For now... But if they start fighting, one will have to go. And I really don't want that to happen. So you two, BE NICE!

I was wondering if they all do! Some one told me that was a good way to tell but I don't know!!

It does look an awful lot like a rooster. Maybe it will be a voiceless one? He looks like he is really super sweet!

Yeah Be Nice!

It could be either, because I had my chickens sexed at the hatchery to make sure they were all girls and they all have tiny spur bumps. Though...I also think it might end up being a roo- look at how large her/his comb is! Also, the sadle feathers are pointed- a female has very round feathers all-around.

If I were you, I'd keep it if it turns out to be a roo anyway. It seems like you've one of a very lucky few to have such a calm bird!

Ops! ignore my last post! I forgot that the thread went past the first page!

I thought all chickens had spur bumps?

No, just cocks. Every once in a while, you come across a hen with spurs, but that is very unlikely.

Yes, they are both VERY calm and friendly! I will probably keep them both, as they aren't fighting. I am getting a small coop for them because they are so small and may get trampled by the normal sized hens and roo. And I am also gonna get them a few ladies. LOL. I just need to find a place that sells Serama hens that are about 3 months old... Hmm... Anyone know someone with Serama pullets for sale?

ALL chickens have small bumps where spurs should go, from the time they hatch. Hens AND roosters. However, these bumps grow into spurs on roosters, and stay little bumps on hens. Usually. I've had some hens with pretty impressive spurs before.
