So here is my suspect boy with pointed saddle feathers comin in.....boy right? Bc they are still saying pullet!

Oh, those are definitely male specific saddle feathers. No doubts about that.

Their response..... I’m furious!

 

[Frazzemrat1]

looks like they need their eyes checked.

Agreed...I agree he was questionable....previous posted pics here and I was unsure. But now that’s very clearly a cockerel. I gave them a piece of my mind...I’m tired of hearing they mature slower etc.

Those do look like male saddle feathers to me...

Exactly! I’m giving them till Monday to grow in more...then I’m sending heat another picture...if they still say cockerel I’m driving him all the way to their door so they can show me what part of him says pullet

 

[Jandsloch]

So after I sent this I checked my email.....their response included in pics as well as mine.....biting my tongue...

 

[chrissynemetz]

Finally!!

 

[Jandsloch]

I just wanted to update for those that follow this thread that the Brahma I have with the wrong comb did end up being a hen. She laid her first egg yesterday. She does have feathered legs but apparently likes the clean shaven look. She acts like a mother hen to her flock mates so definitely not low on the pecking order. She is also 2-3x their size.
