poppy ben grace Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Hi, the one on the left def looks like a cockeral to me, the other one not so obvious but could well be. Nice birds though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I'd say so ... especially the one on the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Both boys. How come there is such a big difference between them? Do they mature at different rates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Are they the same age? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekmill Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 Are they the same age? Within 6 hours of each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Sorry, that was a stupid question - have just looked at the title of this post! Although they do look quite different in their development, I suspect that they are both boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekmill Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 Thanks for all your input - I now have to find homes for 2 cockerels, rather than just the one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Yes they are both boys Its common with a group of males that one will develop faster than the others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coco Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I'd say both boys, I have two pekins the same age, one is definately a cockerel but I'm hopng the other is a girl as she/he has a tiny comb and barely visible wattles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
