pullet or roo

[kelck22]

This is a blue copper maran x splash ameraucauna olive egger. About 5-6 months old.

I had another of the same mix that was a month younger and about 10x more colorful.

looks like a rooster

Darn! The neck feathers were making me nervous.

 

[BorneHomestead]

it was the saddle feathers and the curled tail feathers that gave it away for me.

100% rooster. The pointed hackle and saddle feathers, patchy coloring, sickle feathers in the tail, and red comb/wattles are sure signs.

Yup, cockerel.

 

[Wyandottes7]

Cockerel for sure. He's a pretty bird!

I have a pullet with
curled tailfeathers...I would think the comb would be more red cockerel ...but all of mine are pullets.

What about the not being colorful part?

And the wattles are tiny
