4 Weeks old, is this a boy?

I wouldn't mind if it is :) I would like to breed next year or so and I only want to breed from the best Pekin Bantams I can find! And this little one with those fluffy feet and markings seems to me like it could be a good one to use :D 

 

It's the wattles and comb that suggest its a boy to me. They just seem, large. And they've suddenly sprung up over the last few days I was away lol.

I'm leaning toward cockerel  thumbsup.gif

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change; 
courage to change the things I can; 
and wisdom to know the difference.

In Jesus name Amen :)

Same.

Mark 11:22-23

"Have faith in God," Jesus answered. "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.
