What Gender Is My Chick?

[3Dchicken]

The chick is one or two days away from being three weeks old, and I am still uncertain of the gender. I am guessing it's a she. Here are some pictures from different times in age.

Taken today. Can you see the comb good?^^

I'm guessing this was at one week old. Maybe two...? (cute!) ^^

This was at two days old for sure. ^^

The day after hatching. ^^

If I need to take more pictures, just ask! I want to know what gender this chickie is!!! D

The chick crowing, or just being weird?

Another video!:

So what do ya think?

Really too early to tell. The secondary sex characteristics start showing up in the four to six week old range.
Having said that, the comb is awful prominant in pic #5, but that could just be that it's a single comb.

Oh, I forgot- The chick is half white leghorn half production red. Not the way to make a red sex link (where the father is the rhode island red, and the mother is the white leghorn) but the other way around, and the rhode island red isn't a pure one, but a production red. I hopes that help with judging the comb size and tail feathers...

Yes, and 'cause the chick is part white leghorn. I am hoping the chick is a girl!

Give it another week.

the comb looks a bit red but it's hard to tell wait a bit longer. you will know for sure at 16-20 weeks

Give it another week.

Alright. What do you think of the feather photo at two days old?

feather sexing can only be done on certain breeds that have the fast feathering gene and can only be done in the first day or 2 of hatching

The picture of the feathers was taken when the chick was two days old:
