Be this Boy, or be this girl??

Hmm, that one is a tough call in those pics. If I could pick it up and part the back feathers, I'd know better, but it has a boyish look to it in that second pic in spite of the smaller comb/wattles. I'm just not sure on this one. Here is Gloria Jean at 20 weeks old for you.

That is a tough one, isnt it. The things swaying me towards boy (and why I gave him to Stan, cause he wanted a boy) was that he had a very pink comb at 4 weeks, and for what its worth, all the girl splashes that Ive hatched have ended up with hardly any black at all on them, and Stan's has a lot of black.

I guess time will tell!

I agree, all the dark color on him, especially in the wing area, leads me to say male on this one.

I sure hope I have to pay up on this one!! Would really like for this to be a breeder for my Barred pullets....... .....stan

That would be cool, getting blue barred males and solid blue girls, huh?

I really like that plan! I just love the look of the blue pullets, and after the barred blue males get their adult feathering, they are some good loking boys! Too bad they won't breed true though. .........stan
