Silver Spangled Hamburg. Pullet or Cockerel?

[Jody]

I bought this Silver Spangled Hamburg as a one week old chick. Here it is at a couple months old now, but I don't know if it's a pullet or a cockerel. I asked for female, but don't know cause this breed is hen feathered.

Hamburgs are not hen feathered, that is Campines

This is a female!

I'd say it's a pullet. Looks just like mine did at that age.

thank you.

I'm contemplating on getting a rooster then, cause I'd love to breed this breed.. Such a beautiful chicken.

 

[Remember]

Definately a hen. I love the SS hamburgs. I just sold my last roosters. Next spring I will have to get some more, I think I am at my max again for a while.

i was wondering the exact same thing what had me confused and i see it on your picture to is they are starting to get two little knobs on their legs like where the spurs would be.

The presence or absence of spurs/buds is really not a great indicator of gender as hens can/do develop them and roosters can/do lack them
