Color and sex question

[Coturnixxx]

Whether a colour is worth keeping or not depends on what you like. I don't think there's a right or wrong answer to that one.

You're absolutely right. I'll wait and see what other roosters come up...

Thank you! What would you call this colour?

@Nabiki is correct….the color is Grau fee and not reliably feather sexable……I agree that it appears to be a hen by body shape and facial markings but only way to be sure is by vent sexing or crowing bs laying which crowing should have begun already and laying should occur within 1-2 weeks giving you definitive answer.

This SSC male was very early crowing and was mounting at 5 weeks. Is this colour worth keeping?

I agree with @Nabiki theres no right or wrong answer. Fee lightens most colors besides black and is a nice addition to a colorful flock imo.

Btw, do you think this has the sparky gene?

My sparklies have bars on every feather, it looks like yours has a pattern more typical of Rosetta, but I have my first set of sparklies in the grow out, so I’m not an expert.
