starlight green "pullets" looking alot like Roos

[appalachianmama]

I grabbed the last of what TS had, the easter eggers were straight run but the starlight greens were listed as pullets but i swear those prominent combs look like roosters, the chickens in question are the lighter speckled ones forming a triangle. I havent had luck finding anyone to take unwanted roosters and i live in city limits, wwyd? Thank ye kindly

Welcome to BYC!

What age are they? My starlight green eggers pinked up fast, but I think you are correct in guessing cockerel for some of those (like the ones with barring). Those black and white ones must be a different breed that SGE, but they all look like cockerels.

I just wrote this article for this situation. I hope that maybe it could help.

The 4 in the center look to be pullets. I know they don't pose, but if you could get a picture of them standing still I can confirm.

Those black and white barred ones look like cream crested legbar to me. And yes, all cockerels.

But the pheasant colored ones look like pullets, that I can tell, anyway.

My TSC is buyer-beware. You better know exactly what your chicks are supposed to look like, or no telling what you'll get. Even then, it's 50/50 whether you get a cockerel for anything that's not sex-linked or autosexing. Sorry that happened to you.

Pretty sure the white grey ones are the only dudes. SGEs get big combs early, but I don't see any pink.
