Welsummer Cockerel or Pullet?

[lizzygirl22]

We are wondering....Do we have "Penny" or "Kenny"? This is a 9-week-old Welsummer. "She" got her comb and wattles a couple of weeks ago and has always been bigger than the other chicks we got with her (different breeds), although they are pretty much the same size now. Thank you for any help! )

Cockerel. Rooster in color, big comb, and thick legs are what tipped me off.

Rooster. Welsummer roos are so pretty.

Thank you all so much! This is what I was afraid of. I say that, because we are not supposed to have roosters per our zoning. Hopefully we can talk the neighbors into letting us keep the roo. I would love to have a Welsummer roo....they are gorgeous, and our gals could use some protection out in the yard.

Not a Welsummer, looks more like a Partridge Rock cockerel.

I agree, definitely not a Welsummer.

We have a Welsummer and a Partridge Rock in the same group of chicks. What I thought was the Partidge Rock pullet is pictured below (8 weeks tomorrow). Did I switch them? And I'll post another picture that I took outside today of what we thought was our Welsummer below that....

Here's Martha, the one we thought was our Partridge Rock....



And Penny, now re-named "Captain", who we thought was a Welsummer....And I misspoke in my first post. These 2 are just about 8 weeks, not 9.
