What sex is my sultan chicken?

[Twilight Sparkles]

Hi. I’m very new to having backyard pet chickens. We got a sultan chicken from a pet event early in October and i am guessing that she/he is around 4 months old now. Can you tell if Carlos is a she or a he?

Thanks!

Looks like a pullet to me. I may be wrong I’m no proffesional. Beautiful pictures though.

Pretty sure you have a pullet!

I don't know about the sex, but that's a beautiful bird! And it looks like s/he won't have any problems with the feathers obstructing the eyes, which is always nice to see. Some of these fluffy-headed breeds don't do so well in the whole "unobstructed eyesight" department.

Yay! I really dont want a male chicken. Carlos is our top chicken. She (phew!)’s our first chicken and keeps all the bigger hens in order. She’s the smallest and the lightest but she wouldnt let anyone forget that she’s at the top. Lately, she’s been trying to recruit my peke into her flock too.

Carlos is very beautiful! She looks like a silkie but more elegant. Also, that’s a very cute dog!

Agreed, pullet. Pretty girl

Love the dog, looks so soft. Does s/he have the really bad breathing problems that brachycelaphic dogs get, though, or just the kinda bad ones? If it's really bad, might wanna keep the cutie away from the chicken coop, it's gonna be dusty in there.

thanks for the tip! Our pekes dont have breathing problems and all of them aren’t allowed in the coop or the run. The chickens free range on the dog’s backyard from 7am - 5pm. We live in Bangkok so there is no hawk/eagle. The only bad guys around here are snakes and i personally have not seen one yet.

Here are my other two pekes. They are all quite very friendly to their chicken siblings.
