Buttercup 9 weeks old - cockerel or pullet?

[bantamsrmyfav]

I started to worry when my buttercup chick’s comb was getting pink last week. This week it is more pink and although buttercup males and females are coloured differently, it is getting red feathers.

The other pullet is the same age and looks similar but is actually a campine.

Is the buttercup a cockerel?

Yep, cockerel

I think that chick looks like a cockerel. In comparison to other chickens. I could be wrong though.

Well I guess I can now rehome him with one of the polish (hopefully) pullets. Can’t tell them apart so we call them Pickles 1 and 2. I like having each bird a different kind.

I'm the same way, having a multicolored flock is fun, gives me different egg colors, and makes it easier to keep track of who is laying, sick etc.

Cockerel for sure due to size and redness of comb and the rust patches all over the wings.

Thank you for the replies. He will be sold with one of the Polish pullets at an auction on Saturday.
