The age old question

[Maka]

Is this a cockerel or pullet?

I was told by someone it’s a hen, but it did attack me, and that behavior made me suspicious.

I got this one march 4th…

In the saddle and neck area I see some curve and some point.

I’m just very back and forth some indicators of hen and some of roo. I’m trying to be better. But it’s really hard for me to know sometimes until they crow lol.

Well that’s good! Sounds like I’ll have a sassy hen in the future

Just about 12 weeks old?
Could you get a full body picture while he/she is standing?

If it's attacking you at that young an age, pullet or cockerel, I'd be careful. I don't keep aggressive animals, period. Especially if you intend to breed them for chicks.

Is this one a roo?

Sorry they are kind of muddy. We have worms pop out where the ground gets really wet and they enjoy eating them haha

Also. I will keep the gal who tried to attack and monitor that behavior. If she still behaves like this I will do something about it. I have had a hen who was like this before and just very wild. And she tainted my flock with her poor behavior. Everyone seemed to pick up on it and be naughty. So they all had to be separated.

I'm leaning pullet... but time will tell.
