HAVE HOPE! you really don't know till they crow or lay an egg! it still looks pretty girl to me!

No, you can tell quite early what gender a bird is. Only in certain circumstances, like a particularly difficult Silkie, would you have to wait that long. Now, if you wanted to just wait, you could, but I don't really see a point in that....

Well, 95 percent? It's pretty obvious. Pronounced comb, and it's pink/red. Females of is breed has very small combs that don't really get any color until they start laying.

Well... she's FAR from laying age, darn it.

Your fine! We have to learn sometime! I didn't know what it meant before I got into chickens.

I will try to get a better picture today!
It was almost completely flat a few days ago and without color. This suddenly popped up.

This is another indicator of a cockerel.
