One of my Wyandottes. Hen or Cockrell?

[Leatherworker]

This is Zee. I'm thinking Zee is a cockrell, but I really don't know. She/He is differnt looking in feathering then my other two and they have the rose combs and this one does not. The tail feathers are higher. So I would like you other chicken lovers out there to give me your opinions. Thank you all!

looks like pullet but not wyandotte (single comb). might be a wyandotte cross.

Gorgeous colors! I’m going to say pullet. The comb is quite small and pale, how old?

Although considered 'undesirable' single combs do show up sometimes in Wyandottes. You don't give an age, but I see no male specific feathering on this bird.

How many weeks? Where did the bird come from?

The comb can be different because sometimes they throw a straight comb, even though it really should be rose. There is a lot of iridescence in there that makes me think there could possibly be Australorp mixed in there, so while the feathers are different, and I can see why you think the longer tail feathers look cockerel ish, the saddles are not coming in pointy yet... I think a few more weeks will definitely be more conclusive, but right now she looks like a pullet.

Thank you. I have 11 looks like I may not have a cockerel then at all. I was hoping for just one.
Got 4 from Tractor supply sold as Wyandotte. But one of them has hardly any coloring at all. But she is the sweetest! Love them all.

Thank you, they are 15 weeks.

Do you have pics of all four birds? Mine were sold to me as a different breed, and they all look completely different lol One did turn out to be a cockerel, but ymmmv. :/

15 weeks is definitely a pullet.

Looks like a very pretty pullet.

I'll post the other two.. I hear Wyandottes dont socialize with other breeds, but thats not the case with mine. They all seem to want to be all together at all times. I only have 3 wyandottes as one died the day after we got them. The other two girls have rose combs and Molly, my favorite loves to cuddle on your lap. The minute I go to sit with them, shes in my lap. If i can get a photo of the other two I will post. Thanks for your reply.
