4-5 week old Araucana.. colour and gender?

[shadowfiredingo]

I hatched a handful of Araucana. 3 "wheaten", 2 black and 3 lavender. This one in particular is very very friendly and I fear he might be a boy. Can anyone tell at this stage? Also I quoted wheaten because I don't think they're wheaten. They're not lavender or black but can anyone guess it's colour too?

Oh poop. I guess I already knew. Better stop getting attached to him now

I actually am pretty sure that's a pullet.

That's promising. What makes you think that?

Looks like a cockerel, also looks like he doesn't have a pea comb... His comb looks odd.

You bred him? Or bought him...?

I could definitely be wrong as I'm not familiar with the breed but I thought if it was a boy he'd be way more red

Looks like a mixed pattern but with that color on the breast area I'm saying pullet.

I purchased eggs. Funny you say that. I also purchased Belgian d'Uccles and one turned out to be frizzled. These Araucana all came from blue eggs but I wonder if something else has snuck in.

I've attached a better shot of his comb.

Not a pure araucana, and too young for gender.
