I am worried my Lav Orp is a boy!

[Peachesbabychick]

Hello. I am concerned that my Lav orp, Sugar Plum is a male. I looked at a picture of 2 male lavs, same age and everything, and my Sugar Plum looked identical to them. He/her tail feathers kind of point down a bit, and he/she's more skittish then my legorns! She/he also has little nubs of spurs starting out. Sugar plum also doesn't fly very much.

By the way she is probably about 2 months. Is there any chance at all she might just be a husky hen?

Thankyou.

Both sexes have spur nubs. Roosters don't really get real spurs till they are about 8-12 months old. When the bird is about 9-11 weeks old, the shiny, skinny saddle feathers will come out on the males.

Ok. What about her/he looking just like the other males? Any way she could just be a manly hen? Ha Ha! Her feathers aren't very shiny so I guess that is a positive!!! Also, her neck is kinda bald where she is getting feathers in, but some parts there is just pink skin! Thoughts?
