Pullet or Cockerel
Our take
Hey there, fellow chicken enthusiasts! It sounds like you’re in a bit of a cluck-tastrophe trying to figure out whether you’ve got two pullets or a dynamic duo of a pullet and a cockerel! At just five weeks old, it can be a bit tricky to tell the difference, but there are some telltale signs to look for. The longer tail feathers and bigger, redder wattle on the left suggest she might be the cockerel, especially if she’s making those hawk-like sounds—what a character! Meanwhile, the right with shorter feathers and a smaller wattle seems to fit the pullet profile. Keep observing their behaviors; it’s all part of the egg-citing adventure of chicken parenting!
 | Just wondering if anyone can tell if they are both pullet or if I have a cockerel and pullet. They are both the same age. I want to say they are 5 weeks old but I'm not 100% sure as I got them from tractor supply march 20th. Left has longer tail feathers, wattle is bigger and red, and she makes a sound all the time that sounds like a hawk. Right has shorter feathers, wattle is small and not as red. [link] [comments] |
