When can you determine hen or roo for Giant Black Jersey

[Thefluffybutts]

We just went thru the trauma of finding that our EE hen is really a roo. My chicks are 9 weeks old. What are indicators to look for with a Giant Black Jersey for actually being a cockerel

It would be easier to post pictures, but if they have a big and/or red comb then they are most likely a cockerel.

At 9 weeks the comb is almost non existent.

Post a picture but at 9wks, it's still pretty "young" cause JG are slow to mature. We look at the size as well as color.

Ok. She is 9 wks today. I’ll snap a pic

That looks like you have a Black Jersey Giant pullet.
