Girl?



Then this one, who "looks" like a pullet body wise, has a boy beak? She's around 5 months old.

I agree. It looks like a boy beak.

She's all messed up in other aspects, why not her beak too

Quote: Top one is definitely a crowing boy. Very masculine type. They are half dry and one is very definitely a pullet and one s probably a cockerel. Not really sure on the other.

Okay, wing pictures! I have been worried about these two-- but I think now that I compare them, the one bird is fine and other other is not.

1st Bird. 1 year old bird.
RIGHT wing:

Also-- I took another shot later because he sort of held his wing out himself when I pulled on it, and it looked better when he was trying to hold it for me:
Right Side:

Left Side:

Bird #2: About 4 months old.

LEFT wing:

RIGHT Wing:

On the second bird-- those feathers are growing in two different directions.
