Roo confirmation - French Barbezieux mix

[crystlln]

Just looking to confirm my suspicions that this is a roo before I give him away. 3 months - French Barbezieux mixed with an unknown hen that my broody hatched. Thanks!

Too red to be a 3 month old pullet.
Plus the pointed feathers on the neck and on either side of the tail.

Male.

That's kind of a lotta wattle, too, isn't it?

At 3 months old, eh?

Well, looked up the French Barbezieux at 3 months by genders, looked at the wattles on both...

I'm leaning pullet.

The breed does have so much comb which is why I'm a little hesitant. This one's half sibling I'm nearly positive is a pullet. Pretty much no comb whatsoever. This one's also significantly bigger than her too.

Yep, but the breed has so much.

Found this breed - not mixed- at 3 months. These are the cockerels...

And these- the Pullets...




I don't think your's has as much as these pullets do- and I would ASSUME whatever they are mixed with, that they wouldn't be as comb and wattle heavy...

BUT... the wattle on the pulley gets so big, she wears it like a hat No doubt - these chicks will be sporting fancy headwear-

Cockerels- in pic from the next time from- had development like a mature lefhorn!

Seriously, I wouldn't rule em out as cockerels just yet.

My pure Barbe roo had noticeably more colour at 3 months, and a slimmer figure

so I'd be inclined to wait a little bit longer.
