Well, since you called both "pullets" in the pics, I thought you were just showing them off. But from the pics (which aren't the best for judging- for me, anyway), my best guess is pullet #1 and cockerel #2.. Only because the second one appears to be slightly more fleshy and pink in the comb. It also appears to have the wider white barring than #1.
Pullets. Nice, thick bars of black. I do not recommend a rooster for a first time flock owner. Wait till your girls are mature and laying. Then get a younger cockerel, between 8 and 12 weeks old. This will give the older girls a chance to teach him manners and respect.Hi folks! I'm looking for some advice. I've been researching the benefits of roosters in protecting a flock, and I didn't realize I wanted one until AFTER I ordered my pullets. But now one of my BRs has gotten more brave recently and has significantly more white feathers than either of her sisters.
They are 24 days old today. Here are some pics:
The pics with just one chick are the pullet in question by herself. And the others are for comparison. TIA for any insight you may be able to give.
Looks like a pullet to me. By 9 weeks, my barred rock cockerels had red wattles and combs, were crowing, and had enough attitude for freezer camp!Hey guys, was wondering if you could give me some help sexing my 9 week old Plymouth Rock?
It was the darkest coloured chick in the run when I bought it.Any advice would be appreciated, thank you in advance.
