Because I'm really getting worried that she is a he. She's about 6 weeks old. I also have an RIR I'm unsure on, but Tiana is the one that I've been undecided on from the beginning. What do you think? Hen or little roo? Dominique or something else?

x2 on both gender and possible breed.Definitely a cockerel. He's not a Dominique- they have barring and a rose comb. Not quite sure what he is though. Might be a black copper marans. Where did you get them?
Indicators of a good breeder, are separate pens for each breed; has the chicks separated by breed, so that mix ups don't happen; doesn't make any guarantees on gender of the chicks, unless the chicks are sexlinks; can explain to what sexlinks are and why the genetics work; they are more than happy to show you pictures of their breeding stock.Of course, like a legitimate dog breeder versus a backyard breeder. I just don't have the chicken knowledge to tell them apart yet. :/ I've actually been skeptical ever since picking them up, because he feather sexed them in front of me. Then I found out feather sexing only works on certain breeds/hybrids. I wish I knew of anyone good around here, almost everyone gets their chicks from TSC (and from them I've heard bad stories about their sexing too).
