@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.
