Pullet or Cockerel?

[seatweaver]

One of our hens hatched thesonths ago. The father is a Rhode Island red and we believe the hen a gold laced Wyandotte. One of the chickens has dveloped some nice tail feathers like that of a rooster. The other chicken is much stockier but has no tail feathers yet. I'm guessing that we have two cockrels.

I only see one chicken? Also close up photos of saddle area and comb would be helpful. I cannot say based on the photo you have posted.

Looks like it could be a cockerel, but better pictures will be helpful?

Cockerel. I can see shiny wing and back feathers, which is a male trait. His mother is likely the Wyandotte as he has a rose comb.

I thought that I posted four pictures. I'll add the rest to the thread. Thanks.

Thank you. Our other offspring of same breeds (Rhode Island red and Wyandotte) is a day younger but does not have tail feathers. I'm hoping he grows some.

Shiney wing fathers isnt so much of an indication as feather shape is. I've got plenty of hens with iridescent feathers on wings, breast, neck and tail. Tail feathers come in last for males on a lot of breedsYour feathered friend there is standing like a cocky little cockerel, but as previous posters said, a better pic would go a long way to confirm or disprove
