This orange/grey mix seems to be popular this year. I have one, so does this person. And we're all stressed.

On tenterhooks if my chick's orange feathers are going to stay put or go fully cockerel. If your chick is similar, looks like 8 weeks is a good check in. 6 weeks is too indeterminate.

Fingers crossed!

I do too! Every day I am convinced it’s a different gender.

Those tail feathers look pretty pointy/cockerel too me

The tail feathers are actually similarly shaped to those of the one I know to be a pullet, they are edged with blue which creates sort of optical illusion, I believe. More concerned about the mixed coloring all over and slightly pinker comb.

We’re pretty confident she’s a pullet now. She’s grown into her comb and looks just like the other girls in feather type, size, and stance. No red comb, just pinkish yellow that turns slightly pinker when she gets worked up.

She has a female specific pattern in your previous post.
