Ya'll helped me identify this bird as a Welsummer a few weeks ago. Here is a picture of the bird at 5 1/2 weeks old. Boy or girl?

Well first off whoever helped you was wrong sorry he is not welsummer and that comb makes me wanna say cockerel

I agree, not a Wellie. Not sure what it is, but it's male.

Well, OK. Here is the thread that gave me the opinions

Maybe the baby picture threw folks off. What the consensus now?

does he have 5 toes, maybe a sliver grey dorking

 

[bowhunter862]

Yes, he does have 5 toes.

 

[K Spot]

Agree - definitely NOT a Welsummer. Wellies have yellow legs and do not have 5 toes.

I agree with Ramirezframing - Silver Grey Dorking roo

 

[Whittni]

Dorking! That's awesome I think pullet because of the color pallet of your chick.

 

[ramirezframing]

it should be a rooster since he has a black chest and not the salmon colored chest

Thought I would post an update on what the lil guy grew up to be. Obviously, he's the one in the back.
