Pullet or cockerel?

This is my favorite one so I’m hoping for a hen. Thanks for responses.

I don’t think my neighbors will allow it unfortunately. Can you elaborate on how you can tell?

Mainly the amount of comb and wattles growth for a chick of that age

Welcome to BYC.

Where, in general, are you? If you put your location into your profile people can give better-targeted advice.

Are chickens legal where you live?

If so, are roosters legal?

If yes, what business do your neighbors have telling you what you can or cannot do?



I had an in-town rooster in a town where it was permitted but subject to noise ordinances just like a barking dog, a noisy motorcycle, loud stereos, etc.

One of my neighbors had grown up on a farm and liked hearing him. He'd bring his grandchildren over to see my birds.

The other neighbor figured that if we didn't mind their muscle car they didn't mind our rooster.

Comb & light coloring tell the tale.

It’s not technically allowed where I am, but none of the neighbors mind. I purchased 6 chicks and 2 ducks and unfortunately I think I have 4 males in the bunch.

there is 2 mane ways that you can tell with barred Plymouth rocks

1#: the comb and wattles will get bigger

2#: be cos it a barred rock (i think it is) you can tell by how much white is one it moor= male less= female
