I posted a thread about two months ago regarding my chicks genders. Everyone who replied believed that they were all pullets but I'm not so sure. I got my babies back in July, one dark cornish, one polish and one d'uccle.
My polish has started sparing with my feet when i get close to her. She pecks and raises the feathers on her neck.
Does this mean she's a cockerel? Or do pullets do this as well?
I can get pictures later i don't have access to a camera at the moment. I don't think she looks particularly like a cockerel, her waddles are very small and not super red, she has no comb and her feathers don't look like rooster feathers to me but i know polishes can be hard to sex. It'll break my heart if i need to get rid of her, she's so pretty and has such a personality.
When she tries to fight with me could she just be trying to figure out the pecking order? I know it's a stretch but they're all fighting a bit right now anyway and she's always been high strung because of her crest.
Here's a pretty recent photo of her, taken sometime last week, I'm still going to get recent pictures later today but until then does she look like a cockerel?
