Pullet or Cockerel

[JDfromND]

The buff Cochin and the (what I believe is) Buttercup are 4/2 hatch and the Delaware is a 4/24 hatch.

The buttercup looks to be a pullet; males are patterned differently. The Delaware is definitely a cockerel (double barring is only possible in males, and he has pointy hackle feathers besides.) The cochin looks male.

Attila the 'Hen' (the buff Cochin) has confirmed himself as a Cockerel! He began crowing this weekend.

No crowing yet from the Delaware cockerel? I have one hatched on 5/7 as he's quiet as a mouse...so far! And that's with his being surrounded by pullets and hens.

Nope! But the Cochin has three weeks on the Delaware so he's got time This is my first year with chickens so I guess I'm not really sure what normal timelines are either though.
