Ive got a three month old that I am leaning to cockerel but I’m not the best at sexing rose combs so wanted some thoughts on whether or not it’s are boy or girl
I’ve got this chicken I’m usually pretty good at telling the gender at this age but I’m just not sure with this one. She is 3 months old not hatch on Boxing Day I also thought rooster until now and just wanted to get everyone else’s opinion on her gender
I bought this girl along with a couple other chicks and she’s supposed to be a girl just unsure as she definitely has a pretty red comb but wanted an opinion from others as I’m really hoping I’m just over thinking it. She’s not really much bigger than the others

Hey guys I’ve noticed that one of my barnevelder chicks can close her mouth properly she seems to be eating and drinking with no problems was just curious if anyone knew what’s going on and if it is something I should be worried about she’s 1 month old now
