Feather sexing- not sure if possible

[Cool_Catrules456]

hoping not #5....lol

5 is most likely a boy, I think I can see sattle feathers on them.

I agree with the others. 1 and 4 are boys. 5 is questionable. It's comb is a bit wide and looks like it has a touch of color, but the plumage is even in color. I think pullet but that one will need a bit more time, I think.

1 and 4 are the only cockerels I see.

1 and 4 are the only questionable ones I see. Please update us again in 2 more weeks!

Can you get a picture of 5 that's less back lit? I can't tell if it's the lighting or if I'm seeing the dark patches typical of male blues coming in on that one's shoulders. That comb still has me feeling suspicious as well...

I agree with the others on the rest of them, though.

#4 crowed this morning when I let them out...cute, little, fully neck stretched crow!

Thanks to all of you, final (hopefully) pics in 2-3 weeks

Does this one work? Also here is on with it dust bathing (top right). I can try for a different one of needed

Those early crows are quite something, aren't they? My little batch of cockerels either sound like a party blower or like someone screaming to the heavens, AAAAAAHHH!

That first picture is still kind of shadowed across the shoulder so I can't tell if it's naturally darker there or just the shadows. This is the pattern I'm looking for; this cockerel is older than your bird so showing more of it, but males of solid Blue varieties start to get these darker patches in the shoulders and later in the saddle area while females remain more uniform in coloration:

Ok let me get a picture today in better light and I will post. From what I can tell only the head feathers are darker but I have never had a blue before.

And yes, totally like a party horn he was....but now he needs a new name because Dianna won't cut it
