Do you have a chick that needs it's gender identified? Post here!

I agree with @sybonbon . The darker one has a less pink comb. I would watch the lighter on though, I could see him going either way. In my experience I have only dealt with Cochin Bantams, one OEGB, and one Sebright. The Cochin Bantam hens had small but sometimes pink combs. The roosters had large red combs by 5-6 weeks. OEGB rooster kept me guessing. His comb was quite red though at 5-6 weeks although I had nothing to compare him to. My Sebright stayed with a tiny, invisible comb. I just realized lately she has a single comb, which she is not supposed to have. :barnie

Yeah, Cochin bantams are hard!!! This one is 20 1/2 weeks and I’m still not 100% sure. He/she has a big comb and wattles, but not saddle or hackle feathers, or crowing. I’m pretty sure Overo Mare told me female a few weeks back, so I’ve been leaning towards that lately, but this one still has me guessing. I’ll have to post pictures of its back in a bit. I’m kinda thinking female though…

Definitely female. Her is my Cockerel. I am not sure his age in this picture, but he is still young.

Here he is at 4 1/2 - 5 months old. They seem to get saddle feathers so fast. I have to get rid of this sweet guy though.

Pullet. I'm pretty sure she would have male saddle feathers by now if she was a cockerel.
