I’m 99.9 percent sure this Welsummer pullet is a cockerel.

you are correct

At least I can get a refund for him in 2 months. The hatchery said something like waiting til between 14-26 weeks. I am almost positive one of my polish is a cockerel, too

What do you mean by refund him?
The hatchery's going to take him back?
Which hatchery did you buy him from?

Meyer hatchery. No, they guarantee sexed chicks and will refund me his purchase price. I have to keep him.

Yep, that is a Welsummer cockerel. Welsummers cockerels feather in with a black chest, like yours, and pullets feather in with a brown/amber chest. Plus they have a over all different look, like yours. He is awfully handsome tho! My flock is all Welsummer pullets ,and we are in need of a rooster, so I would gladly take him from you if we where closer!

Apparently you just need to order a few pullets and you’ll have one. I guess I’ll put him with two of the pullets and put the rest with my Orpington pair. I was trying to get my Orpington a few more pullets so he didn’t wear out his mate when he grows up
