Hello,

My first flock. I give my "girls" a full inspection every day, and have notice Luna is heavier, has wattles, comb is darkening, legs darker and thicker. But they all have darkish legs. Bare belly. This one might be the pure Dom. Please help!

Dark legs mean nothing on gender, the pics don't help much honestly. A full body shot would be more helpful. But remember, if the Dorking was the father, as long as it is barred, it is a boy. But, if it is barred and either parent would be the Dorking, you could have sexed it before it feathered in by the white dot on the head.
