Sapphire gem pullet or cockerel?

[Csweaver]

I’m curious about my Sapphire Gem... she(?) is 14 weeks old now. She’s been much larger and had more red in her comb and wattles but doesn’t seem to have any barring that males are supposed to have.

She looks like a pullet! I had one that was a lot bigger than my other and developed sooner, too. Yours definitely looks female.

Thank you!!! That would be so awesome!

Here are other pictures... the first is of her as a chick (she’s the lighter one), then at 7 weeks, and again at 9 weeks with her darker flock mate.

She looks just like my Clara! Clara is the one in the bottom left of the picture. The darker one beside her is my other SG. Both are female.

Clara is beautiful! I’d better start choosing a different name... she has been dubbed “Big Daddy” since we got her because she was so huge! You’ve made my day! Thanks so much!

You’ve got pullets.

Hello! I hope someone can help me.... just got the girl??? today. Now I am concerned she is not a girl? They were all supposed to be girls in the pen, but who knows? Can anyone help? I tried to get the top of the head and the eyes and she already has wing feathers? I am fairly new to this and last year I was convinced I had a cockerel until she laid her first egg infront of me and I had to change her name from Lewis to Louise!!!

Too young to tell, but since it doesn’t have a headspot (some SG boys have shown to not have one) it’s likely a pullet. Don’t worry too much yet!

Thanks! I didn't know if the strie across the her head was any indicator.
