Uh oh

I was really hoping this one was a pullet, but the wattles have turned pink over the past couple days At three weeks old, pretty much assuming this is a done deal?

Lol, thanks for the confirmation We’ll give him a good home until he crows, then we’ll have to re-home him.

I'm so glad I can keep mine if I want to. The loudest and meanest will go first.

Nothing's screaming cockerel to me yet. Yes it has very small pink wattles but the comb still looks small and pale. It's still young so I wouldn't give up hope yet!

Thanks! The comb is definitely flat and pullet-like so far. We’ll continue to monitor

My fingers are crossed for you. Keep us updated over the next few weeks!

That is definitely a nice option to have for sure. I’ve heard plenty of mean rooster horror stories over the years, so that is a good rule of thumb

Surprisingly, this is the first batch of chicks where we’ve had a good potential cockerel candidate, in addition to this one. It is a new experience for us, but being in the burbs, we can’t keep them in the long run.

I'm not seeing this one as a male, but you'll know for certain in a few weeks.
