What are these white things

[Bjjjones89]

Okay so i recieved 4 chickens from a friend she has no idea on the breeds she got them at tsc. I know one is a cockerel the other could be either way. The one i know is a rooster has since i got him grown some brown and black spots. The other remins stark white and smaller but the comb is only ever so much smaller. They should be 11-12ish weeks at this time.

this one is for sure the cockerel.

you can see on the right the other white one in question im leaning towards cockerel but its just a tad smaller than the other both in stature and comb size.

Copy and pasted from another thread so hope you don’t mind. Its easier then to re type.

Summary: All cockerels
Why?: Here’s why.
This is a rooster.

First go to the face, the comb and wattle are very big. This is actually pretty normal to have for even a hen when full grown, however, roosters can develop this much more early on then hens, i’ve even had significant wattle and comb at week 4 for my cockerels.

Next go to the neck, the feathers there that are quite spikey are called hackle feathers. Hens have these feathers but theirs are rounded and not spikey.

Now look at the legs. Many roosters get red on the shank bit of the leg due to hormones, roosters also have thicker legs.

Now go to the overflow of feathers on the side there, those are called saddle feathers. Roosters have a overflow of them and they are again, pointed. Some do not have as many as others.

Roosters also have sickle feathers which drip from their tail and are exclusive to roosters. Often green (though hens can have a green sheen too so that isn’t a way to tell.)


I hope this helped you. Let me know if you have more questions.

Hard to see in your pictures, but the Wyandotte look like their chests and their necks are black. Pullets will have clean lacing, males will be dark.

Im just gonna expect them to be roosters at this point
