Blue laced red chick

[Mikski]

I know it’s probably too early to tell, but I bought this blue laced red Wyandotte (splash) straight run and have been obsessing over whether it’s a girl or a boy. It’s about 10 days old now and doesn’t have any tail feathers which has me a little concerned. Does anyone see any indicators of gender yet? TIA!

Tail feathers don't indicate gender and its too early for anything else.

I have a little BLRW chick, 2 weeks, she has the least amount of tail, looks just like yours and I'm not worrying. It's going to be way more about wattle/comb comparison to others in a few weeks. Doesn't mean that I know you don't have a roo but I do not see anything in your pics that would make me worry at this time. Fingers crossed.

2 weeks old today. Tiny little pin feathers starting on the tail. Any indications one way or another? I can’t stop obsessing over this little one.

She is starting to look blue laced red. Such great colors. Please keep updating.

Too young yet. But nothing screams male to me. My BLR was the slowest to feather. I think she was 4 or 5 months old before her tail finally came in proper.
