Pullet or Cockerel?

[PolloGal]

Pullet. See where her wings are? No red. Head/neck doesn't mean male.

What do you mean ‘head/neck doesn’t mean male?’

Red on the head/ neck

Head/neck leakage is a female indicator. Leakage on the wings and the saddle is a male indicator

Thank you. I am pretty sure I have it now. I just wish I had a bunch of chickens to practice what I’ve learned on!

I think I understand the ‘leakage’ areas a bit better now (making actual notes)…so this young bird…where the leakage is…is that considered the shoulders or neck area? So this would be a boy (ignoring the lack of waddle and comb-which makes me want to say girl)?

This bird looks like my black copper marans hens! They lay beautiful chocolate speckled eggs!
