I can sex your pullets and cockerels!

[sassysarah]

Alright, this is one of my last few chicks I'm debating on gender. Buff Orpington bantam, slowest to develop feathers, small pale comb, thinner legs, skittish and flighty since day one. But the face flushes around the eyes to a red color when this bird gets into spats with the big gold lace cockerel.

A little young, but I think roo

Looks like a rooster. Can you get a better comb and tail pic?

 

[Brepayne3]

These are as good as I could get

That's a roo

I'm not concerned one way or another, but I'm curious what you think. This is a Black Copper Marans, only 16 days old today. Comb is coming in more quickly than my other 8 Black and Blue Copper Marans, so I'm guessing this is a future roo (sounds better than cockerel to me, lol). Curious if you have an opinion or if it is way too early to have an opinion.

HUGE comb for such a young chick so pretty sure it's a cockrel but we will wait a couple of weeks.

 

[Bladeguy]

Yup, I thought it was a huge comb for that age....will be fun to keep my eye on this one and see what it turns out to be.
