I am getting a small flock of Saipan jungle fowl chicks and I was wondering if anyone knows at what age you can tell pullets from cockerals.

Any help would be highly appreciated since I can't really find a whole lot of info on this breed online...

I have raised asils before which are similar to jungle fowl in a lot of ways and I was able to sex them by seven weeks based on comb development and feather patterns. The females have more uniform colouring in their feathers whereas the males have patches of different colours (as they do when adult as seen in the photo you posted). This is visible from as early as six weeks, sometimes less. The females don't develop a comb bump for a long long time after the males.
