Pullet not clucking?

[staceyj]

Oh!
Did you say this bird is approx 2 months old?
Could you please post a profile photo showing the whole bird from top to bottom and front to back.

I don’t want to raise the alarm just yet but I think those hackle feathers are very pointy for a pullet.
*Although Welsummer hens have pointy hackles too.

Looks like a cockerel to me.

She doesn't have signs of spurs or ever made any male sounds but you can never be sure! She LOVES to lay like a broody hen. I hope shes not a rooster, if so we may have a problem. If "she' is a he hopefully HE continues to be very quiet

At ~12 weeks old, I'd say that's a cockerel.

Well, they look pointy because of coloration pattern.

My birds are three months old this week! I ran outside and took some more photos of "her" and my other GL Wyandotte(Bottom of pic 3 and also pic 4) for comparison. Also, if this is a male, when does the crow usually develop in GLW's?

That is a doodle, you should be hearing crowing any day now. The latest iv'e see was 6 months but normal is around 3 or 4 months.

It's a cockerel, and crowing can start at any time from weeks old to as old as 6 months or more depending upon the bird.

Definate rooster.

Agree. Cockerel. He'll be beautiful too....once he grows into those legs.

You said you're not allowed cockerels where you live; what a pity to have to rehome such a good looking bird

Although if he keeps being mute you can keep him! Those laws are in place because of the noise.
Just think if you started a new line of crow free roosters you would get rich!!
