The Big Fat Is This A Rooster? Thread

Marans and Ameraucanas about 10 weeks old, Bantam Wyandottes about 8 weeks old.

The Marans are all definitely cockerels. The Ameraucana are probably pullets. Need to be able to enlarge the pictures to even try to guess the Wyandottes.

9 weeks

Rusty red on the wing/shoulder, combined with a pink comb at 9 weeks means it's definitely a cockerel, even if he wasn't crowing already.

Oh yeah I've suspected it was a "he" since about 5 weeks. his behavior even as a chick was so much different than our 13 other pullets. Friendly, "flirtatious", crazy sounds, and had that "strut" that is undeniably roo. Along with the red wings and raised comb. And for the last week he'd been stretching his neck as if he had something stuck there, growing up all my roos would do that about a week before they tried their first crow xD

Here is an update on our silver laced wyandotte, she's actually a pullet! 17 weeks old and getting her hen feathers:
