Sicilian Buttercup (I think)... and supposed to be a Pullet. :)

[BaaKaaawk]

I'm usually helping others ID their pullets... but this breed is new to me so I figured I'd seek help as well! That's the fun of the forum.

Normally I would just say this is a cockerel... but I bought a "female" day-old Sicilian Buttercup chick from Meyer Hatchery- so of course I assume it is indeed a female- but I know hatcheries can make mistakes too, they're only human.

"She" acts so much like a little cockerel and her neck and saddle feathers look suspect to me, as does that tail. Additionally, the females appear to be light brown with spots... and yeah I'm not seeing any of those!

Can anyone with Sicilian Buttercups confirm for me if this is a girl or boy? Heck is this even a Sicilian Buttercup at all? I'm pretty sure at this point this is a Cockerel. Thanks!

I don't have Sicilian Butter cups (thought I really want one) but that looks like a cocktail to me.

But he's really handsome.

Yep, plain cockerel.

I know you meant cockerel but

Oh, sorry. Autocorrect. It is super annoying.

I agree, and I'll drink to that! Silly chicken.

Well I have 2 good Roos already so if anyone wants a Sicilian Buttercup Cockerel near Charlotte, NC- come and get him!

Does he have the buttercup comb? How old is he? Are you coming east any time this fall? (I ask because I live a few hours east of you) I have two Buttercup girls who just started laying this month.

Good shot of the distinctive comb, tn_artist!

I was looking for the comb in BaaKaaawk's shot and my eyes just aren't good enough to work it out. I was sorta questioning whether it's Sicilian Buttercup at all.
