4 week old Lavender Araucana boy or girl?

I'm sure people get sick of being asked this question! But, I'm gonna ask it anyway! was sure it was a girl, but now I'm not sure. Anyone have any idea? I'm keeping it either way, so I guess it doesn't really matter, but it would be nice to have a blue egg layer!

I'm not 100% sure but what I can see of the waddle looks faintly pink which could mean roo. But its still pretty early to tell. I just did a little reading in other threads on the gender of that breed and it can be hard to tell.

Looks like a pulley so far....

It's too early to tell. 7 to 8 weeks is about the earliest for accurate sexing of solid colored breeds.

Okay, I'll just be hopeful and pretend it's a girl for a few weeks! Haha... until I know for sure!

There's no harm in that. I hope you get a girl, too.

Still too early for anyone to be sure, but guessing is a lot of fun. Keep an eye on that comb in the next few weeks for signs of pinking (or yellowing, even) up.

Made me laugh when I was taking the pic, mumma managed to get in every photo I took!

Heres my 4 chicks - 3 x Silkies, 1 x Araucana. And just by their stance I reckon I've only got 1 hen (the little black one at the back) the other 3 seem to hold themselves more upright and are way braver than she is. But that sounds about right for ratios of hens:Roos!!!
