Is My She a He?

[saucytoad]

I'm a new chick mamma and the babies are now three weeks old. I have one chick who is the odd one out .... feathers are 'messy' and the comb is far more pronounced. I don't know the exact type, but they're a bantam ... and looked like a chipmunk when little. I live in the city, so no boys allowed. Trying to determine if I must prepare myself to part with this quirky soul.

I'm not sure of the breed either but it sure looks like you have a rooster. Sorry.

I'm guessing barred rock but I don't know sex. Still looks like a girl

It's really too young to tell. Nothing is screaming rooster at this point but again, it's too young to say either way with any confidence.

Good looking chicks but give it a couple more weeks
