Also thinking pullet- bc of the no wattles mainly, just like the first- BUT man Everytime I look at that comb, I think maybe it's a cockerel?

#4

Rooster? Maybe? BTW- It was raining the day these photos were taken so the streamer like feathers don't usually look like that, they are wet and clumped together

Personally I would think these two are cockerels and the lack of wattles is because they're bearded (?).
My 5 month old Showgirl pullet still has hardly any comb while her brother has always had a big one.

Agree. I don’t see any streamers on its head. But this one is sorta tricky.

Rooster? Pretty sure I can see pointy hackle/saddle feathers on this one too

I recently hatched out 2 NN. I got the eggs from in-laws MT. The eggs they hatched from were brown, and the moms were orange feathered. The dads, were EE and darker.

I had heard that NN hens/pullets tend to have larger combs? Which is why I questioned it. BUT- good call on the beard/muff gene- it does inhibit wattle growth so I guess maybe they are all boys

That has not been my experience so far.
This is my oldest showgirl pullet, not sure on her exact age but laying.

This is my 5 month old.

And the 5 month old cockerel.

Yeah, see I look at those combs and her comb looks on the larger side to me, and his is definitely huge. The two I posted (the pullets?) combs are not anywhere close to the size of his and they are older them them. About 6 maybe 7 months
