This Bird is one of my creations...Brahma/EE and Orpington...Hatched July 20.
I'm stumped as to it's gender..Other 3 are Cockerels..Is this a Pullet? Lady coming to get all the Cockerels on Saturday...The white one I'm wondering about...
 
I was always told that on the males the saddle feathers are pointed and the females are rounded. Based on that (and compared to the one behind it), the white one is a girl. They're both very pretty.
I know...Thanks it just has me second guessing myself..Thanks..

I know how that goes. I had a buff orp that was a girl, even had my bantam cockerel making the moves on her. Then one day she turned into a boy! I had no idea. I had 2 other boys that were obvious early on.. but my buff was supposed to be a girl b/c the store said the 'only get girls'. I was in denial up until he started crowing at almost 20 weeks.

Usually I'm pretty accurate on sexing...This White has me stumped..?
The Cockerels are definitely Cockerels..That much I do know....If this white is a Pullet? I really want to keep it..Just those long tail feathers have me wondering..
 
I see what you mean. Hopefully there's someone more qualified to help you. I'm pretty new to chickens.. I have eggers, but they're all girls. Looking at pics from when they were younger they do have pretty full tails, but long enough where the feathers are starting to curl down, but IDK what they were mixed w/ that made them eggers so that may be a trait yours picked up from the mix. Your white one really reminds me of my Delaware.
