White Rock, dude or dudette?

[lazy gardener]

Definitely a prince.

That looks like a pullet to me. The comb and wattles are really large for a pullet, but they aren't bright red yet. It carries itself like a pullet. The only feather I can see sticking out where hackles would be is rounded. Are you figuring 12-13 weeks?

Not crowing, but definitely is the leader of the flock.

Rooster

Still no crowing. Hopefully he holds out until the chicken swap in 2 weeks...

Crowing/eggs is the only way I'm going to be 100%, right? Because I have videos of noises if they will help.

Many don't start to crow until 3-5 months of age. Egg laying starts at 4-6 months. You have a long ways to wait for either. At 12 weeks with that amount of comb development you can be pretty sure it's a rooster.

But then I have this one with a pretty well-developed comb that almost everybody agrees is a pullet...

Yes, he is a Prince. I also think he will respond to a audio tape of roosters crowing.

He looks around to see what's going on, but that's it.
