The coloring is 100% female. Even if you just saw her head, though, a male would have developed his comb by now.

Great. Thank you!

Here is the comb holding him by the window to take it looks like there might be about 3 darker red feathers starting on each shoulder too

He must be just a little slow on the patches.

Hey I wasn't sure if the second chick is a boy or if she has been getting picked on. First chick has the tail feathers like the rest the second has more scraggly and it's a lot bigger then the rest. Already got a rooster so wasn't sure if he was picking on it because it's a boy or if he has just been ripping its feathers.

So it doesn't mean anything the the second is bigger and much more aggressive?
