Hi everyone,
This is my Welsummer poulet Olive. We got him/her in March at the age of about 10 weeks along with another poulet of the same age. We know for sure that the other poulet is a girl but we are unsure about Olive. He/ she is around 24 weeks old now and the breeder says that Olive is a girl. After doing a little research I am unsure and wanted to see what others thought. Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated. Thank you!
PS. Sorry that the photos are terrible..Olive does not like sitting still

He's definitely a cockerel, not a pullet :(

I think when you're typing 'poulet', you're meaning 'pullet'. Pullet is the term for a female chicken under a year old, so being a male, he's not a pullet. A cockerel is a rooster under a year old, so that's what you would refer to him as :)
 
Hi Pyxis,
I just noticed the misspelling as I posted this:(
I have also been looking at other posts people have made and I think you are right.
Thank you!
