Pullets or cockerels?

[HorseGirlAbby]

So, I've heard that only hens put their heads in their wings, not roosters. Is this true for chicks too? Six of my eight chicks have put their heads in their wings, including one that I'm suspicious isn't a pullet. Any help is appreciated!

That’s not true at all!!! My hens do it too, it is an old wives tale. You can determine sex at around 6-8 weeks of age though...

Sounds like an old wives tale. Pictures will be able to tell if they are pullets or cockerels

That's not true both sexes of mine do it 6-8wks is the best time to tell post pic's we will help you determine who is who

They're only a month old. Thanks for your help, everyone! I'd heard roosters were more prone to frostbite because they didn't put their heads in their wings. And here I thought I'd found a foolproof way to identify cockerels!
