Plymouth Rock thread!

I also think the white rock is a cockerel

I think both the WR and BR are cockerels. The BR could be a pullet but with that much of a comb at 11/12 weeks, I guess cockerel. Time will tell.

D'oh! Not BOTH of them!!!

The comb and wattles on the WR say cockerel. There isn't much of a wattle on the BR which would make me guess pullet. If they are 11/12 weeks old the BR has a larger comb than I would expect to see on a pullet of that age, then I would guess cockerel, unless they are a bit older than 11/12 weeks closer to 16 plus weeks then the BR I would guess to be a pullet based on the growth of the wattles.

Thank you, everyone, for the feedback. Indeed, time will tell!

Let us know how it turns out, OK? I like to continuously rate and improve my visual sexing skills.

1) Give us the age of the bird.
2) A full on front picture so we can see not only the cover, but the size of the legs.
3) A head side view.

My impression, with the single view, with the lighter barring and lighter legs, probably a cockerel.

Males tend to have larger white bars than pullets since they receive two of the genes for barring, which inhibit pigmentation.
