This is my hatchery-sexed "pullet" bantam...
Eight weeks old and looking rather questionable.
Am I actually looking at a little cockerel here? Outgoing behavior and large reddening comb and waddles is concerning to me. Very affectionate little one, always challenging the other chicks, at the top of the pecking order in my pen of similar-aged chicks:
You can't tell very well in the picture, but I noticed some dark red shiny feathers coming in around the neck... =/
Thanks, BYC buddies!
