Pullet or cockerel?

[Lauren1607]

Hi all! I have 3 blue laced red Wyandottes that are supposed to be pullets but one is making me wonder if (He/she) is a cockerel! Little bit more coloring than the others. Acts different, wayyyy more friendly and very vocal. I’ll post pics let me know what you all think? Thanks! So hard to get good pictures!

The one with more comb development- is that the one you think is a cockerel? You are probably right but I’m never 100% until I see pointed hackle feathers- I once bought 5 x mixed colour Wyandotte day-olds and they were all so different I had myself convinced I had 3 boys and 2 girls...and Lo and behold I had 5 boys

That much comb this young, pretty safe bet that's a cockerel.

Agreed. That's a little boy.

Thank you all!!! I’m devastated.... Althea has been my favorite out of the bunch of 6 . She/or I guess HE... has been so sweet and sits on my shoulder while I do housework. I’m so sad. The hunt for the best home possible will begin.

So sad... thank you
