Spurs don't even come in on cockerels. Only on roosters. Sometimes hens.

Looks like one, just without the beard gene, I have seen some pop up like that though...

Cockerels start growing in spurs between 5-6 months of age. Full spurs finish out pointed within a year, or two. Rooster are 1yr+.

My son's class hatched eggs as a project in April. We adopted 2 when they were 4 days old. The teacher had gotten the eggs from Atwood's and was told they were "assorted eggs." The Dominique was easier to identify

What color was the egg she came out of?

I haven't had any cockerels have full spurs. Maybe just me though

It depends on breed genetics too. Some breeds like Sumatras have slower spur growth.

I never saw the eggs. I just asked my son & he said he doesn't remember. There were a dozen eggs total. She was the only multicolored chick, yellow with brown & black stripes. That's why he picked her

Okay.

Is she laying?

If she is an Easter Egger, they can lay brown eggs too, not just blue, & green.

She is not yet. Her & the Dominique are 19 weeks old today

Oh, okay. Just had to ask.

Update when she starts laying? I'm betting on her being an Easter Egger.
