This is my 8 week Blue Jersey Giant. If I remember correctly they are slow to mature, so the red, but still small wattles has me leaning male. The comb isn't red though so I'm wondering what others think.

I'm leaning pullet, although those are some big wattles...the feet are pretty giant as well. The color is nice and even, but there are some suspicious spots near the tail, and I'm wondering if they're male saddle feathers coming in. Could you maybe get a close up of the feathers?

I'll give it a go tomorrow. There's a few others in the group I wasn't able to get good pictures of today. They were a bit unsettled because I shifted everyone around to make room for some recently hatched chicks.
