This is more of a general question because taking pictures of all the angles, of these crazy chickens can be a real workout. We have 11 almost 9 week old chicks. 5 lavender orpingtons, 4 black copper marans, and 2 crested cream legbars. The 2 legbars are auto sexed, but their markings weren't very good. The breeder said she was pretty sure they were girls, just with not so great markings. So far, they both seem like girls! But, as the professionals, you know, the orpingtons and BCM take time. I only have 1 that has the red comb and waddled so far out of all of them. We named him "rooster." Orginal, I know.
But this is the only thing I really know to go off of. Is an early comb like this a pretty for sure way to look for gender? I will post some pics below, but not looking for anyone to search and gender them all. But as you can see, all of them have pretty small combs, except one. Hoping Rooster may be our only rooster.
Btw... I heard it's always great to have one Rooster, but I really didn't want one at first.
But, I kid you not. That Rooster is my favorite. He runs to us and is always so excited to see us! Rooster may be the best chicken surprise ever.
