I'm just tickled that I'm causing confusion. I used to post all of my pullets just for attention a couple years ago, but with time I've gotten a better eye.

cockerel.....

Go and catch him. Part the feathers in his saddle area and I bet you will find really dark buff feathers coming in. I think I can see a couple already coming in.

Also look at the size of his legs compared to the wheaten gal behind himin picture #2; he's a late bloomer.

Thanks Jean. Of course I would have to touch him or catch him first! He's a quick one!​

Here is a picture of some of the buffs I hatched this year and that I got from John B. I would say I only keep 1 or 2 out of 30 of them.

It helps to see a group. It's easy to overthink it when you're just looking at one.

I have to go with boy as well. He sure is pretty

Yeah, at only 18 weeks, definitely a boy. I don't have buffs, but my black and lav lf, the girls don't get red like that until 7-8 months when they start to lay. And there is just way too much going on with that tail to be a pullet.
