Showgirl thread- for posting pictures and discussing breed!

Sex question. I have three chicks, and I noticed today that two have similar combs, and the third is very different. Maybe a hint on gender...

Here are some pics. These two have wide combs that are relatively flat:

Then this one is narrower, but not flat, there are little raised bumps up top

Are these any indications of gender yet? They are only 4 weeks old.

I love this little one! I think I will need some eggs from this one when it grows up!

I will do what I can to make that happen.

I have a situation with a showgirl roo, I'm not sure what too do. Back the first of First of December I changed out all my waterers to dishes for winter ( in northern Michigan where everything is frozen). My 9 month rooster, Buzz started sneezing about that time. He didn't act sick so I let it go. The beginning of January I swabbed him and sent it to the state vet to check for mg and he was negative. It hasn't spread to any one else either. So I decided I should bring him in and treat with antibiotics, more " just in case" than him acting sick. So the first day I did a really good look over him. His comb is funny shaped and covers part of one nostril. Then I caught him in the act of drinking out of a dish. He gets his comb wet, the water runs down his comb and into his nostril. To my knowledge there is nothing I can do for him. Can you dub a showgirl? I don't think I could do it. He is the best little guy, super friendly and curious. Just wondering if this has happened with any other showgirls.
