Sumatra... Hard to sex

[Dean126]

I know it's hard to sex Sumatras. This is my first time having one. This one in 6.5 weeks old and my 3 others are 5.5 weeks old. They all look the same. Here is a picture of my oldest. Can somebody more experienced help me out with this one?

I believe you've got a cockerel based on comb size, & the redness in the wattle area.
Sumatras aren't super hard to sex. To confirm gender, there should see pointy saddles under the other feathers if you dig through them.

Roo judging from the wattles

I can't really tell if there are any pointy saddles after digging through. I agree with you on the waddles. Can you elaborate on the comb because to me it seems nonexistant

It looks like a raised bump.

Here is an update at 9 weeks. I still can't tell, but I'm thinking those are male saddle feathers.

I think it is a pullet based on comb/wattle size.
