Don't ask me I get everything wrong

Lol. Same thing here, that's why my rooster is Doris.

Now that's really cruel, my dog's farts would be even worse. Phew he dropped a smelly one today the cat couldn't get out quick enough good morning, Mark.

Good morning, Marie.
Good morning, Mark.
The military might consider dogs. My boxers make the most noxious fumes.

I'm going to guess it's a pullet Janie. But I'm in no way an expert so let's see what others think. Both are pretty birds!

Thank you. I'm hoping they will be rehomed together. It is less traumatic with a buddy.

I am going to guess, pullet. I am not an expert but I had a hen that I thought was a cockerel until she was 20 weeks old. So, that's my guess.

Good morning, Mad. I usually guess the opposite way...so many crowing "pullets" around here!

@janiedoe - pretty pullet.

Thanks, Sour. I would have sworn that I saw red on her wing, but no sign of it now. I looked back through photos and found this one.

Good morning Sue!

What do you all think of this cockrel/pullet? I haven't posted it on breed/gender forum.
I was sure it was a cockrel. It is 14 to 15 weeks old now. I thought I saw red on a wing, a few weeks ago, but can't find it now. The comb is pink and has been for a couple of weeks, it hasn't developed any further. The cockrel beside it is the same age. (Same father, mothers are a large olive egger and a brahma) Any guesses?
Either way it has a home, I just don't know whether to rehome it with a few hens or with a brother. The couple who requested it does want a cockrel, but may not have room for two males.

I haven't so far. I'd trust the opinion on this thread just as much. It is so hard to judge by a picture or two, unless it is just obvious.
I wouldn't question this one at all, if not for seeing red a few weeks ago. No saddle feathers, no male posturing, no crowing, just a tiny red marking that I can't see now, and a little pink comb. That, and I always have a problem with sexing easter eggers.
The other 3 were pretty obviously 2 males and a female.
I have three 4 week olds that seem obvious too. Two males, one female, or so I believe.

Pullets can get weird feathers that they then molt out. It looks like a pretty pullet to me too.

One of our Orpingtons, as a pullet, would crow every morning. She stopped once she started to lay eggs. So I don't rely on crowing unless there's other evidence it's a boy.

The one that I thought was a male, was a really big hen from the start, and she had a perky stance. But nope, I posted pictures and everyone guessed pullet.

That's funny! I have read stories on here of hens crowing. I have one that mounts the other ladies but she lays eggs and doesnt crow.
