I'm starting to wonder about the gender of one of our chicks, Millie. They're a week old so I know it's pretty/really early. She seems to feather a bit slower than the others mainly in the tail feather department. I think she's feathering faster on the wings than our partridge cochin cockerel (Oliver) did years ago. His boyish characteristics were apparent earlier. He was very alert and assertive. Millie, our barred cochin now, isn't assertive at all. Her sisters are more active actually.
Here's Millie
Here's Quincy, she's a silver laced pattern.
We used to have a barred cochin with Oliver, named Gracie, who feathered pretty fast and her feathers actually seemed to be lighter than Millie's.
Gracie (Oliver in the back, notice how little his wing feathers were.)
Sorry if this seemed like too much information but I wanted to give some context.
