[cjsman777]

I bought 3 welsummer pullets at agway and i think one of them may be alittle suspect i was looking at them and noticed one looks different from the other two here are the pictures. i have no clue they may be to young to tell yet but im curious.

This one i believe is a pullet it looks the same as the third which i didnt think i need two put two pictures of similar looking chicks

this one on the bottom has a more developed comb and shorter tail any help would be nice

Yeah it is too early to tell. Post pics again in about 8 wks. We should be able to tell them.

I'll bet the first is a pullet and the 2nd a cockerel. You will know for sure by about 2-3 weeks when the chest feathers come in. Females will feather in salmon colored on the chest and males will feather in black with red.

I will post more pictures once I notice more changes or if I will let you know if I hear any crowing

I just recently had a post about my Welsummers! Look for it down the way a bit. Also, I researched Welsummers here and found great older posts with great pictures too!

Anothersign from what I have read is a more orange colored comb and I was looking close and this one is definitely alot more orange then the other two

If this welsummer ends up being a roo is there any one in Berks or Montgomery county pa who would want to give this guy a home I don't want a roo and my wife isn't to happy about the idea of sending it to freezer camp. We just have to wait and see
