Probably to early to tell. This bird is 4 weeks old. Thoughts? It’s got a red spot on its nose from another bird pecking it :/

Too young. Pullet so far, but that basically says nothing.

Agreed with the above posts. Post updated pics at 6-8 weeks, focusing on comb.

Still trying to learn about sexing different breeds, but I thought this type of pattern was female specific. Is it not always?

Not when it hasn't gone through a juvenile molt. When looking at female patterns, they are only applicable when they are "big girl" feathers.

Gotcha. So male patterns coming in with the juvie feathers is only in specific breeds, such as the dark breast feathers in Faverolles.
