Bantam Dutch gender?

[mother o' chicks72]

This is my lil' bantam dutch. I really hope she's a girl! I accidentally forgot how old she is. whoops!

thank you so much! if you have a guess as to how old she is that'd be nice too!

 

[mother o' chicks72]

any guesses?

 

[aussieheelr]

I'd guess about 4+ weeks old by the feathering. Sorry I can't help with sex, never had a dutch before.

 

[mama24]

I would guess girl.

My boy Dutches had BRIGHT red combs before they were nearly as feathered as yours.

That is a cockerel (male). The Red coming in in his wings is a give-a-way.

That Red coming in where it at is pretty much (90%) a "sex-link" coloring/ marking like in Old English Game Bantams. Where did you get him from?
Examples would be the -
Black Breasted Red (BB Red) http://www.bantychicken.com/OEGBCA/vbbred.html
Golden Duckwing http://www.bantychicken.com/OEGBCA/vgoldenduckwing.html
Brown Red http://www.bantychicken.com/OEGBCA/vbrownred.html

so, if it's 90% it still technically COULD be a girl?

Could be if it was a EE, but were talking about a Dutch so I would say the odds are closer to 99.9% that it is a young rooster.
