Looks girly, but i've been wrong before. Typically, if you see a good bullseye on the back of the head= male. No bullseye = female

here is a link that has better pics: http://www.redoakfarm.com/how_do_we_tell_them_apart.htm

These
two were males even though one wasn't a sure bullseye, but it was close..... i had them DNA tested

Thanks. That site was definitely helpful. I found it once a while back but wasn't able to find it again. I was actually thinking it's a boy, it kind of looks like it has an incomplete bullseye. I guess I'll have to have it DNA sexed to be sure

lol I've never seen an Emu chick before! It's super cute, but it sort of looks like Lady GaGa.
