Bought 4 pullets for the first time this year. These "pullets" are 10 to 11 months old. Suspicious about this one. Any thoughts on if this is a cockerel or pullet?

I don't see the feathering of a cockerel and by this time, it should be crowing. What about eggs?

Thank you so much. No eggs from any of them yet? Still feeding Chick Starter, Oyster Shell, Grit, and Black Soldier Fly Larva. If I should be doing something else please let me know. Thanks again. 🐔

Don't need to feed them chick starter. Just regular layer feed. A bit difficult to believe 10-11 month old pullets are not laying. If they free range, you may not know where they're laying.

That pullet does not look 10-11 months old to me. 10-11 months is nearly full grown. This one looks 10-11 weeks.

misunderstanding or am I crazy to think this?

Well thats embarrassing. They are 10 to 11 weeks.

oops

Starter feed still ok at this age?

Yes. And it looks like Hania saved the day. Good thing she's paying attention.
