Two cockerels and a pullet? Whiting true blues
Our take
Welcome to the whimsical world of chicken puzzlement! Our friend, BubblyTangelo9875, is navigating the delightful chaos of raising Whiting True Blues. Hatching three adorable chicks five weeks ago, they were convinced two were roosters and one a pullet based on their impressive comb development. But now, confusion reigns as one of the supposed roosters sports a smaller comb than the other, while the “pullet” is sporting a surprisingly vibrant red comb. It’s a classic case of clucking conundrums! Join the discussion and lend your expertise to help BubblyTangelo9875 unravel this feathery mystery. Do you think they’re on the right track, or is it time for another look? Let’s dive into this egg-citing chicken chat!
 | I have three whiting true blues that I hatched, they’re five weeks old. I was so sure that two were Roos and one was a pullet. Two of the had fast comb development while one still has a very small comb still. Now I noticed one of my “Roos” has a smaller comb than the other one and my “pullets” comb is more red! I’m confusing myself 😂 what do yall think? [link] [comments] |

- Pullet or CockerelJust 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. submitted by /u/lilbadboob [link] [comments]
