Pullet or Cockerel?!

[JNC]

I know I already asked like 383727 times but her comb has grown some and she’s staring to get feathers on her neck that look like hackle feathers?

Ideas on the breed will be helpful too! She/he is about 3months old

Valbazen, an Albendazole.

I have also used Safeguard (Fenbendazole)

Garlic is not bad for poultry if used properly. It has many beneficial uses, but being able to use it to de - worm is not one. Be sure not to over use it and only use it for 3 day periods at a time, or you'll end up with very garlic tasting eggs and un - happy birds. The OP's bird is a Production Red pullet.

Here are some things I read. Apparently, if fed an over amount, they can die, but a few cloves is fine and is an immune booster.

I am guessing pullet!

I’ve been looking into worming and apparently garlic acts as a wormer. Is this true because when she was just a chick I would feed her oatmeal with some garlic powder mixed in.

Thats not true

Garlic is bad for poultry.

@FluffyLambs @JNC This may help. As you can see, safeguard needs a lot more doses to get rid of different types of worms. I used safeguard to get rid of roundworms though.

That's not true either

I could have sworn @R2elk said that it was.
