Purchased pullet, leaning cockerel?

Our take

Have you ever found yourself in the clucky conundrum of raising chicks and questioning their gender? Well, that’s exactly what our friend /u/numberonepapaw is experiencing! They recently purchased six Americauna pullets from TSC, marking a delightful start to their toddlers' first flock. However, amidst the joyful peeps, one little bird seems to be leaning toward a different identity—a cockerel! At around ten weeks old, this feisty fowl is making more noise than its feathered friends, yet the crowing has yet to make its grand debut. Join the conversation as we explore this adorable but perplexing situation and share tips, experiences, and a few laughs about the unpredictable antics of our beloved chickens! [link] [comments]

As the title says, bought americauna pullets from TSC (1/2 of my toddlers first flock). I bought 6 total pullets and all are leaning female except this one. Purchased at the end of February, so approximately 10 weeks old. It makes more noises than the others but I wouldn’t say crowing has started yet.
