We’re hoping to keep this chicken but only if she’s a she. We’re at 15 weeks. She was growing long curved tail feathers but then they fell out?!? Opinions?

That's because she was molting. This is a pullet. At 15 weeks, a cockerel would have obvious male saddle feathers, and I would expect that comb to have much more volume to it.

I have had hens with big combs and hens with smaller combs and with the same feathers in the tail all were hens

Thanks everyone! I thought so as well but I was starting to have doubts as they get older. The brown and white seems very feisty and has funky brown/red coloring on her wings, the red and white has a little red combing out on the top of her comb also. I'm usually good with sexing most single comb breeds but these have the pea comb and can have any color feathering so I wanted other opinions! I was hoping for a rooster but I have other chicks too so hopefully I get lucky!

Good luck!! You never hear of someone hoping for a roo!!!!

@Stacyoung13
Thank you! And yeah haha, I enjoy the crowing and prefer to have at least a few in my flock. I have Svart Höna roosters almost 3 weeks old, and 3 Sapphire Gem at 2 weeks old. I'll post what I got when they're old enough for more opinions on sexes, hopefully boys in each breed group. Got plenty of already grown hens and space for them!
