Do you have any pictures of Ursula's saddle or tail feathers?

Those are not apparent until they're older. At this age you go off of comb and wattle size and color.

I know I just wanted to see the rest of the chick's body. Also, you could look at their tail feathers. Males would have smaller tails.

I'm thinking male. His comb and waddle are quite big and red for his age and his tail feathers seem to be much smaller than a female's tail feathers.

Length of tail feathers are not great inducators of sex. My one male in the batch of chicks currently was the fastest one to feather out.
