Really?? You don't think those tail feathers look rooish?
And can you believe I was hoping for a rooster!!! Ha ha, that must be the only time that's ever happened.

By this age, the comb would be flamin' red if it was a cockerel - also, look how thin her legs are...not roo-ish at all! Sometimes they sorta look in between for awhile, but I'm fairly certain you have a pullet there!

Your right, I know your right. But my fingers were crossed, I just pulled up some older pictures of my OE rooster when he was about about 12 weeks old (and similar coloring), and your right there was no question about it, bright red comb, and even the start of saddle feathers.

He's gorgeous now about 20 weeks old and NOT breeding my hens, timid guy, I guess he is a late bloomer, ugh. I am waiting and waiting.
I found a recent picture of him (Copper) and my black OE pullet Jade.

*sorry for all the pics, I am in a mood today I guess.

Well, Newlyweds, I will take that OE pullet off your hands and you can start over to get a roo. She's so pretty - I love the coloring!

I can't wait to hear how it goes!

Newlyweds.....you have a pullet too.
