Gender and breed guess please

[Kev]

I have this chick I'm just not sure of. Guesses?



and why is it not growing feathers? The other chicks are growing feathers just fine...

 

[ChickensAreSweet]

Wow that is a big chick! Did he get into some horse feed?

You should put some sunscreen on him.

 

[SD Bird Lady]

April fools?? Otherwise best guess is a turkey poult with some genetic mutation that causes "nakedness"

 

[ChickensAreSweet]

Have you tried to feather-sex him?

I hope you haven't because it is well known that it can be an unreliable way to determine gender.

It's real... 5 weeks old as of tomorrow.

Will feather sex if it grows some later?

 

[Kassaundra]

Some breeds males grow wing feathers slower so ....................... male?

But on the other hand no bright red patches over wings so ..................... female?

And no saddle / hackle feathers so ............................ female?

 

[hellbender]

I think it's a male but beyond that...I'm clueless.

I'm thinking cockerel. I've never seen a chicken that featherless! I'm not sure what is wrong with it.

 

[Michael OShay]

Based on the broadness of its comb, I would quess cockerel. There's certainly no way to tell by its feathering. )

Has it been plucked????
