Sultan gender

[rickvogel]

Hey everyone, I have 3 Sultans that are all 16 weeks old. I can't figure out their gender yet though. Does anyone have a good guess?

They're all cockerels.

Seriously? I needed at least one hen. How can you tell?

Male feathering. Those long feathers you can see coming out of their crests are called streamers. Only males have those.

Also the long vulture hocks are exclusive to males. If you look at your female mille Fleur chicken behind them, you should notice that hers are much shorter.

Look like cocks, but still wait and see.

Wow OK. Thanks for the info. I can't keep roosters so I was hoping to get at least one hen. They're such nice birds too. It's a shame I'll have to get rid of all of them.

Look like cockerels to me as well
