What is Blackie? Pullet or Cockerel?

[QIA]

Ok, it's day 2 of getting my flock and all is well....Except, I'm pretty sure that one of my chickens (solid black) is a cockerel and maybe another one (the Wyandotte, "Speckles)"?! See my pictures, please. Blackie is very bossy and voicetrous!

Orange (Buf

f Orpington) as my hubby calls her is so super sweet! I just love her!

Pullets. Blackie is is just maturing faster and is showing the difference inn personality from one bird to the next

Thank you ladies! I'm not good at IDing male or female yet. But I was reading other posts, etc. saying that pointy neck feathers were most likely a roo. I don't want to get rid of any of them.

I think your SLW is a girl too! My SLW made we question her sex longer than anyone else, she was a bully and put on weight faster and developed her comb first. I even named her Lola like the Kinks song (Lola who no one could tell if she was a man or a woman) anyways... Hopefully your girls will prove themselves soon with some eggs! I feel like that's the only time we will ever really stop worrying about if they might be roos.

Oh and the Wyandottes feathers just tend to look pointy when they are developing their color, the bigger she gets, the better her plumage and coloring will get!

Ok, well it's all new to me! What do you call her? She's pretty bossy.
