Growing comb on 3 week old wyandotte chick?

[Jessie404]

Hi all,

I have 5 wyandotte chicks that I am trying to determine the gender of as they grow. 'Blue' has a small lump where his/her's comb will be. Is this a growing comb? None of it's other siblings have one, does that mean that it is a rooster?

wyandottes are notoriously tricky to sex early as they have rose combs. Both pullets and cockerels will pink up quite a bit. You will not really know until they are about 12 weeks old. Others here on the forum have given away their girls, thinking they were boys, so be patient!

Oh and welcome to the forum!
