Do you remember this little one who hatched the day after Christmas?

5 weeks old today and I wanted to ask what you thought about sex. We named it Abel and it has had a fairly prominent little comb

This is Abel at about 9 days old you can see comb


but unlike its hatchmates who are bruisers with thick legs very pink combs and wattles already. Abel's comb development has been slow and it has not pinked up

Obviously we are hoping this baby is a pullet so please be gentle if you think otherwise: Able's dad is a Langshan, mom is a ??

If the chick is a breed without a straight comb, the wattles are a better indicator of gender.

Pink wattles at weeks is usually a male.

I see wattles. Beautiful chick!

Boooooo! I was afraid of that too. I didn't really see the wattles until the photo session. I am going to continue to live in denial. My Magnus turned into Maggie maybe Able will never get any more wattley ahchy. (do you remember that camp song?

Daddy had a straight comb. Lord knows what mama had

sigh...

I'm sorry . . . it always seems to happen that way. You want pullets you gets roosters and vise versa. I happen to really need some Ameraucana rooster chicks out of my girls. That doesn't happen very often! Keep your fingers crossed for me. I am setting the only 3 eggs they have laid and hoping for a "decent" rooster!

I have saved more eggs to set than I can fit in! I have some golden cuckoo Marans eggs coming soon so I need to keep one incubator empty. I need ANOTHER GCM rooster!! I can't believe I am saying that!

I am going to have mottled Belgian d'Anver, Silkie, Golden Cuckoo Marans, OE, EE, and Ameraucana eggs in this hatch.

Such a strikingly marked little chick, I'll cross my fingers that Able becomes Abby.
