is she a boy??

[snazzyboots]

this is my 3 week old ee. i was thinking (hoping) it is a girl based on feather development. she was very quick to get feathers. along with 2 others. the rest had theirs come in much slower. i sold all but two chicks so i can't post pics of them to compare but this one's legs are thinner than the others were. however she is a very dominant bird and also holds her tail feathers in a very rooish way. at least from pics i've seen. any thoughts would be appreciated. the comb is still yellow. no pink. couldn't get pics of it. she was being very uncooperative for the pics

what do y'all think? pullet or cockerel??

Can't see the comb to tell. I don't see anything in the pic that makes me say "boy", but it may be too early. Wide combs are usually the males in pea combed breeds, but not 100% of the time.

i know i really wanted to get a pic of the comb but couldn't. hubby was handing out meal worms

the comb is very flat and yellow. i was really wondering about how she/he holds the tail feathers. does that mean anything?

No, that isn't a reliable indicator of the sex of a chick that young.

i really dig this chick

S/He is still a bit too young to tell. Post more pics in about 3 weeks and we can tell ya!
