What gender?

[Brystal]

Because I paid for all girls and I just wanted layers?

Here was my california white at 8 weeks. She's definitely a girl. Laying now. Her comb is so big it flops over now. Yours is bigger than mine but I would wait and see because they seem to be a little tricky.

 

[Mamatomany123]

Does that mean she is a boy?

Yes, yours is a boy. Only way to get a 100% girl is to buy sexlinks or older birds. No chick is 100% accurate on sex.

Yes. A cockerel is a male chicken that is under 1 year of age.

Ok thank you for your help.

California White appears to be a pullet!

So can I still eat an egg even if it’s fertilized? Also do I have to buy an incubator, because I wasn’t planning for chicks.

Yes. Many people eat fertilized eggs and don't even know it.

If you don't want chicks, don't buy an incubator. They are only used for incubating and then hatching chicks.

Ok, thank you. Also he kinda picks on some of the girls. Is that normal?

Likely, yes. Soon he will be like a hormonal teenage boy. It will pass.
