Red wattles at 6 weeks is a cockerel UNLESS it's flushed from heat and goes pale again once cooled off.
Thanks for the info! But I am aware how to tell the differences in adult birds. Just need help with very young ones. And I don’t think body helps with 6weeks old at allCan I also have pics of its body?
It looks way more red in that picture than it does in real life. It surprised me when I uploaded it. Time will tellRed wattles at 6 weeks is a cockerel UNLESS it's flushed from heat and goes pale again once cooled off.
Rounded and pointy saddle and hackle feather are irrelevant until usually between 12 and 16 weeks old.
Also rounded feather on chickens indicate that it's a hen. Sickle feathers show that it's a cockerel
