18 week Sussex. What gender do we all think?

[Lindseyrb]

This is a happy little Sussex.. what gender do you think? It is so difficult to tell with this breed I think. Some grow much faster than others. Thanks

That’s a very slow developing cockerel.

I’m betting roo. Two of my three female Sussex chicks turned out to be cockerels. At about 15 weeks they looked very much like your lovely bird there. I hope he gets to stay!

I have two light Sussex and one was really big quite young but the combs were never that large at that age. I’d say roo but not fully developed.

Hi all It was a Cockerel. He’s got a great home with four battery hen rescue ladies and is living the dream.

That's a great outcome. Good job at re-homing him.
