@mammasue don't be surprised if that lovely white bird turns out to be a cockerel.

Oh no why! I pretty sure the other one I got with her is definitely a cockerel. It acts like one. She/he my favorite out of the new bunch lol

Oh I had a beautiful white one I was sure was a pullet. Tiny comb, no wattles ... hatchmate had big comb and wattles so I was SURE ... it had no red shoulder patches, either. I mean NOTHING said cockerel about this bird... and then one day I saw it standing in the shadows, kind of just in silhouette .. and my jaw dropped! I said That is a cockerel! And, sigh. It was. Now don't be completely discouraged. I also have one that started white, got red wings, got more and more red ... and she is a lovely pullet! I'm just saying ... keep an eye on it! Click on my name and then on the Find All Threads button, I did make a thread on it, there are pictures of this white cockerel.

These are other two same age the top on is one I hatched i am most positive it’s a cockerel it’s already got like spikes coming out of its spurs but the bottom picture is the other EE I got with the white one they were suppose to be pullertd I’m pretty sure it’s a cockerel. What do you think

 

[BigBlueHen53]

The top one looks like a cockerel to me but I'm not 109% sure. Bottom one looks like a pullet. I'm mostly going by that arrogant little curl in #1's tail... and #2 has what I would consider pullet coloring. But I am no expert by sny means!

Top one looks pullet-y by color and size/development of comb, though the tail is a bit confusing but not definitive yet.

Bottom one is a pullet as that's very typical pullet coloration.

Ok good to know. The bottom one is always trying pick fight with the top one and struts around like a rooster. That’s the only reason I thought maybe lol
