I have some chickens that I need help sexing...

[laylerschicks]

Im fairly certain that roxie is a female just because ive looked at it a LOT and asked my neighbors and she looks like a female although i could be wrong. she is 5 weeks (almost 6) and it seems like her wattle has not reddened at all or grown at all.

Can there be combs that are pale? Especially in birds with huge flop over combs as adults.

On some of the things i have seen, this is what a male at 5-6 weeks looks like compared to roxie...


Male

roxie

(again shes trying to grab a treat shes not crowing)

Do you have better pics of Roxies face?

If she is in fact* a barred rock, I'd lean towards Roxie being female. It only has one barring gene
