Chick at 7 weeks... gender?

[JNorth]

This is our chick pulled from an unsexed run. It's 7 weeks, give or take a day. I would like your expert eyes on this.

Still early, but Im leaning girl!

I'm guessing pullet.

 

[JNorth]

I was thinking girl as well. It's been hard to tell since s/he is the only Dixie rainbow we have. S/he is bigger than the other hens of the same age, but from what I have read about Dixies they run big.

No guessing here -- that's absolutely a pullet.

Pullet!

Is it the tiny pale comb/wattle that confirms it?

 

[debid]

The comb is one clue since it's a rare male that hasn't started development of the comb by seven weeks. The thing that makes me 100% sure, though, is the feather pattern. Never does a male have that look.

x2. That's all girl. The breed makes her bigger and sturdier legged, but that color is female.
