Hello!

I got this jubilee orpington (Jujube) on 7/22 along with a light brahma (Pickles) from the local feed store. They said all chicks were female but s/he is maturing significantly faster than Pickles and is very feisty. I know they're too young to tell but the leg thickness and confidence is making me think Jujube is a roo. Any thoughts? Ive been looking for a jubilee orpington to add to my flock for a couple of years so will be really sad if Jujube is a boy :hit

I'm no expert on guess the gender but I'm thinking that you will probably have to wait a little longer till the feathers come in and see if the comb starts coloring up early. The thicker legs and attitude might be an indication but only time will tell for sure.
