Possible Cockrel?

[GrantKazSpaz]

Hi! So for a while I’ve been noticing one of our so called hens has been developing her comb and wattles much quicker than the rest. I ordered 10 hens from the hatchery, got 11 by mistake, two died in a raccoon attack, so I only have 9 chickens left, soon to be 8 because of the accidental rooster we got. We are giving him away. But anyways back to the early developing hen, might she be a rooster? My confirmed rooster is already crowing and has down his first mating dance already, but I’ve seen the other chicken do none of these things. And if they were both roosters wouldn’t they have some kind of beef with each other and show off against each other? That hasn’t happened either. They actually seem to be good friends! They are all almost 17 weeks old, with them being 16 and 5 days right now. I’ll post some pictures below of both birds. Thanks for any replies I get!

I believe that is a hen/pullet!

1 is 100% Cockerel and 2 is 100% Pullet.

The black bird is a pullet close to lay.

Ok. Thanks so much! I was really worried because she was our last Black Austrolorp. The other one died in the raccoon attack. I didn’t want to give her away.

I can understand your uncertainty, The size of their waddles and combs is concerning for sure , I remember my first hens I thought they were all roosters !!!

That’s a hen. Her feathers are very rounded and not pointy like a roosters. Red combs mean she is getting ready to lay
